    Hi,

    I've got a drive from a Linux box with partitions I need to read
    before I reformat the drive. All I have handy is FreeBSD boxes, but
    when I try to read the drive in a freebsd box, it doesn't read or
    recognize the disk slices from Linux. Any howto's or tips on how to
    handle this?

    TIA!
