Simply type part and hit return, and a diplay similar to the following is given: 18.4  Mounting an Ext2 Filesystem - The ‘mount’ command In order to read files from an ext2 partition, it must first be mounted. TO mount a partition, the ‘mount’ command is used. It takes two arguments from the command  line:  The  hard  disk  number  and  partition  number  of  the  partition containing the ext2 filesystem. e.g. mount 3 1 will mount the filesystem on hard disk 3, partition 1. If  the  partition  is  mounted  successfully,  some  information  is  given  about the filesystem, and the command prompt is returned.
