I am trying to mount an SCO 5.0.6 harddisk onto /hd in my Linux RedHat 7.2
hard disk.
When I try: mount -t sysv /dev/hdb /hd
I get:  mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
                        or too many mounted file systems

So, after seeing some of the emails here, I ran: (thanks Emmanuel)
fdisk -l /dev/hdb
and got:
Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2434 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Device  Boot            Start           End             Blocks          Id             
 System
/dev/hdb4        *                  1           1023            8217216         63     
 GNU HURD or SysV

Ok, so tried: mount -t sysv /dev/hdb4 /hd
and got:        mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb4,
                or too many mounted file systems

I don't have anything else mounted, so can't be that, but not sure what is
wrong. I am guessing SysV and sysv are not the same, and when I try mount -t
SysV, it says try sysv...
In the man pages for SCO, it says their filesystem is htfs, and that type is
not listed in the Linux man pages for mount, and when I try mount -t htfs it
says this fs type not supported by the kernel. Also tried hpfs, which is
listed in the Linux man pages for mount, but again got not supported by
kernel error.

Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Thanks,
