I have just reinstalled RH9 on /dev/hdb and would like to be able to
extract some configuration and data files from /hda3 which contained my
previous RH9 installation. However when I try to mount it I get an error
message:

# mount /dev/hda3
mount: /dev/hda3 is not a block device

fdisk -p /dev/hda lists the partiton as still there. Nothing seems to
have changed on that drive. The new installation works fine but I would
like to be able to take a few files from the first drive.

I created /mnt/hda3 and have messed with /etc/fstab but nothing seems to
help. There's something happening that I'm not aware of! My ignorance
is showing. Can anyone see what's wrong?

Thank you.
