:-)

Obviously I felt kind of stupid when Michael explained that the
numbering started at 0, which I did't even consider when writing my
second mail.

And as always, someone have to rub it in... :-)

I saw the smiley but i just have to explain myself. (Thus violating the
rule "If standing in shit without boots, for gods sake: stand still!)

I thought i remembered seeing /dev/mtdblock/1-3 and I know that for
harddrives numbers are >=1 (as in hda1).

Instead of assuming that i remembered wrong I assumed that "Hey, they
must have reordered the partitions. I wonder why....". Reordering the
partitions would NOT have been natural.


Classic case of write before you think so to say.
