1) Install the FSWpart package
Download http://www.belenix.org/binfiles/FSWpart.tar.gz
Uncompress: gunzip -c FSWpart.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Install: pkgadd -d . FSWpart

2) Install the FSWfsmisc package
Download http://www.belenix.org/binfiles/FSWfsmisc.tar.gz
Uncompress: gunzip -c FSWfsmisc.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Install: pkgadd -d . FSWfsmisc

3) prtpart /dev/rdisk/c0d0p0 -ldevs
This will display all the partitions in this format ==> /dev/dsk/c0d0pN : FAT/NTFS
NOTE : N means 0,1,2,3 etc.

4) Now to mount the particular NTFS partition

Example :
mkdir /mnt/c
mount -F ntfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p1 /mnt/c

if you have more than one partition, than make more directories in '/mnt/'
and put the address (/dev/dsk/..)

Will these packages be ultimately delivered through the pkg.opensolaris.org or in default opensolaris installation?

prtpart /dev/rdisk/c0d0p0 -ldevs

the above doesn't work for me

"Must specify a disk device: /dev/dsk/... or /dev/rdsk/..."

annoyed (of above post),

The article author has made a typo. It is not /dev/rdisk/... but /dev/rdsk/... exactly as it says in the error message.
