Hi, I've followed the instructions Petr gives, but I'm stuck at this point:

# mount 512mbsd-7400-linux2629-lenny-eabi.dd part4 -oloop,offset=$((25088))

I get the following error:
"mount: must specify the filesystem type"

I've done all the previous steps as root.
What should I do to complete this step?

Thank you very much.
