    I have 2 Linux partitions on 2 discs, but I do not know how to access
    the other Linux partition.

    FC2 is on hda, the other (SuSE 9.1) is on hdb
    I have /swap on both discs

    here is the fstab:

    LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
    LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
    none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
    none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
    LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
    none /proc proc defaults 0 0
    none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
    /dev/hdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
    /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
    /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660
    noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
    /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660
    noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
    /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto
    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

    here is the mtab:
    /dev/hda2 / ext3 rw 0 0
    none /proc proc rw 0 0
    none /sys sysfs rw 0 0
    none /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
    usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
    /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0
    none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
    /dev/hda5 /home ext3 rw 0 0
    sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0

    and these are the directories at root level:

    bin boot dev etc home initrd lib lost+found misc mnt opt proc
      root sbin selinux sys tmp usr var

     From SuSE I could access FC2 under 'data1' and 'data2' directories at
    root level. How can I do with FC2?

    Any suggestion is appreciated!
