Here' s the typescript from my session: The "disklabel sd1" is at the

There's no HFS partitions on the disk I tried to mount. Here's also the
output from the ext2 partioner and others for this ext2f file
system:http://www.csulb.edu/~bwildasi/unix/maclinux/
I think Bill S. had the right idea to ask whether support for ext2 had
been compiled into the kernel; somthing I haven't done yet, but will
attempt soon. Can I compile a kernel from sources of netbsd-1.3.1
running on a netbsd-1.3 system? Doing a full install of netbsd-1.3.2
over older versions takes me a long time as I only know how to do that
from the Mac-side installer tools, and have only used the ftp way for
packages. Which is a real pitty since I've dedicated a roomy 750 Megs to
netbsd on a gig hard disk. Has netbsd's site been set up to handle
remote commands to build custom kernels which are then ftp'd? Sorry to
ask this last question as it probably is in tyhe faqs somewhere.
thanks for any help!

The MacBSD kernel evaluates the native Macintosh partition table and fakes
a NetBSD disklabel from it. There is definitely no code in there to label a
partition as "ext2fs" or whatever, so if mount_ext2fs(8) looks at the
partition type, it sees "4.2BSD" and you lose.
Yet another reason to implement native disklabels...
