I'm having trouble mounting my dual Tivo drives in my PC.

I'm able to boot from the ISO CD and get to the bash (/#) prompt. When I try and mount the volumes it displays "Success" but also says the I have not specifed the system type (or a similar message).

I've tried with just the master tivo drive, and again with both on the same controller as master and slave - just as they are in the tivo.

Any ideas why they wont mount? I've been following the instructions from the Hinsdale & StevoTivo's guide, but the mount doesnt seem to be working.

You need to boot linux in byteswapped mode to mount the partitions.
