"mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda1" returns
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

so then..
"mount -t sfs /dev/sda /mnt/sda1" returns
mount: fs type sfs not supported by kernel


the thing is i mounted this fs with the install of knoppix that was just on the drive...

an older version of knoppix 3.3
im booted on the latest 3.3 iso right now

could the older 3.3 have sfs support while the latest does not?

that doesn't make much sence to me
none of this does... i need this data
