Hi,

The two modules available are 'sysv' and 'bfs' (for boot partition). Unless you have it compiled in to the kernel or have built your own custom kernel without asking for support for those filesystems you should be able to use them by doing :

/sbin/modprobe sysv
/sbin/modprobe bfs

Then mounting with 'mount /dev/hda1 -t sysv /mnt/sco' (example - last directory is wherever you want to mount it).

Please note, however, if you have slices or a more advanced filesystem I don't think there is anything to help. Slices are supported for Solaris but thats for the ufs filesystem. See -->

Hope this helps
