Didn't play with it, but...
How are you trying to mount it?
Do you have a /dev/hdd entry in /etc/fstab?
Does the mount point exist?
Is a msdos or ext2 disk you're trying to mount?
Is the disk formatted? (For ext2, I guess you need to mke2fs
it...)
I *think* it should act just like any harddrive.
Is the drive detected in your cmos?
