ok this is kind of odd. i upgraded my home machine (to redhat 9), and when
i tried to mount a disk that i was able to mount under redhat 7.3 i get the
following error:

mount -t ext3 /dev/hdf /mnt/fs/set1/

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdf,
       or too many mounted file systems

yes that is 'hdf' and no partition number. does anyone have any idea on
what this means? i have it backed up to a few hundred cdrw's but i would
rather not spend the week feeding them into my machine.
