Now this is sweet.  First tool that would acknowledge the existance of 
/dev/hdc.  Further, it knows it's geometry/size.

Running analyze on it now, unfortunately, it's spewing read errors, 
seems like for every attempt.

Nice tool though, thanks Liberie.

By the way, this toy works on the following:

     * BeFS ( BeOS )
     * DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
     * Ext2 and Ext3 ( Linux)
     * Linux Swap (versions 1 and 2)
     * Netware
     * NTFS ( Windows NT/2K/XP )
     * ReiserFS (versions 1 and 2)
     * UFS ( BSD )

And I've compiled the linux version and am running it against a vfat 
partition.  Sweet.

I'll update the list upon completion (20gig drive...)
