I haven't tried under 2.0.*, but inder 2.2.* (and so presumably 2.1.*
and 2.3.*) as long as the kernel knows about weird IDE drives (no, I
can't remember exactly which config setting, off the top of my head), it
appears as one /dev/hd[abcd] and mounts normally (indeed, I believe you
can boot from them nowadays, _if_ the particular BIOS supports it). You
might like to try (1) making sure that the disk is formatted and (2) try
adding -t vfat or -t ext2 or whatever to your mount command.
