Mounting Tivo drive question

[ruckus]

I know this has been asked before but I couldn't find it.

I've got my drives setup as
fat32 - primary - master
CDROM - primary - slave
Tivo drive - Secondary - master

I mount the fat32 drive as
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/c

My question is how do I mount the Tivo drive. Is it
mount /dev/hdc /mnt/tivo ???

I would like to copy over TivoWebPlus and MFS_FTP before I put the drive in the Tivo.


Thanks

There's the rub. You want to mount either partition 4 or partition 7, depending on which partition is active.

Try this:

mkdir /mnt/tivo
mount /dev/hdc4 /mnt/tivo

Check the partition and see if it is the right one (I'd look at rc.sysinit.author). If you've got the wrong partition,
umount /mnt/tivo
mount /dev/hdc7 /mnt/tivo

Or you can boot from the iso, skip to the hacks phase, let it mount the drives, then before it does any hacks, hit Alt-F2, and copy the files using that console.
