"man mount_pcfs" might help... ;-)
The special argument can be one of two special device file
types:
o A floppy disk, such as /dev/diskette0 or
/dev/diskette1.
o A DOS logical drive on a hard disk expressed as
device-name:logical-drive , where device-name
specifies the special block device-file for the
whole disk and logical-drive is either a drive
letter (c through z) or a drive number (1 through
24). Examples are /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:c and
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:1.
So, it would most probaly be something like:
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c9t1d4p0 /media/s
Not "s", as "s" stands for "slice", and slices only work in UFS... Use "p" for
"partition"... You might check via:
ls /dev/dsk/c9t1d4*
to "find" the correct entry...
