Here is the scenario
Fedora core4 on a dedicated 80 gig drive /hdb. (All install defaults taken)
Fedora core5 on a 200 gig dedicated drive. (All defaults taken)
Using system bios, I can boot from either drive.
I can mount the boot partition from either system to the other, but I
cannot mount the data partitions.
My commands were (from root)
mkdir /other (on each hard drive)
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda? /other
where I tried ? from 7 all the way to 1. On the core4 system,
The system could not find values of /dev/hda7 through 3 . Refused
/dev/hda2 and showed me the boot partition for /dev/hda1
On the core5 test3 system using the default values as set up by
annaconda at install time, I could see the boot partition on /dev/hdb1
but no other partition.
Is there something I am doing wrong? I tried many flavours of xxx for
the mount -t xxxx (auto, ext2, ext3) , eluding -t parameter.
Your test against a vanilla corex drive would be appreciated.

Your problem may have to do with the fact that default installs use LVM
for partitions other than /boot.
