thanks bam, i've modified the script, /sbin/hddmount by changing the mount command for hdd3 ( now ext3) all runs well on qtopia all the 3 partitions are mounted ( during boot i can see moun hdc1 hdc2 hdc3) i noticed only a strange message during boot
i see
waiting /hdd3/debroot to be mounted
can't cd to /hdd3/debroot
if i boot in console mode the internal hard disk is not mounted, and if i try to
mount -t auto /dev/hdc3 /hdd3
i receive a
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-22
Mounting /dev/hdc3 on /hdd3 failed: No such device or address
any helps....
