3 They are named differently in gentoo. Instead of /dev/ida/c0d0p1,
4 /dev/ida/c0d0p2, /dev/ida/c0d0p3 in Red Hat they are:

6 cdimage root # file -s /dev/ida/disc0/part1
7 file: Using regular magic file `/usr/share/misc/magic'
8 /dev/ida/disc0/part1: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data
9 (my /boot)
10
11 cdimage root # file -s /dev/ida/disc0/part2
12 file: Using regular magic file `/usr/share/misc/magic'
13 /dev/ida/disc0/part2: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data
14 (my /)
15
16 cdimage root # file -s /dev/ida/disc0/part3
17 file: Using regular magic file `/usr/share/misc/magic'
18 /dev/ida/disc0/part3: Linux/i386 swap file (new style)
19 (my /swap)
