Try checking the partition number with fdisk or cfdisk. It usually is something like /dev/hdd4 , instead of /dev/hdd. Anybody know, why fdisk and cfdisk tells me that I have bootable fat16 partition on a zip-disk, that I partitioned again and formatted as ext2. I can mount it as ext2 ok, but this seems a bit weird.
