Can somebody help me with a couple of problems I'm having?

My PC using Mandrake 7.2 is networked to another machine running Acorns Risc OS and which uses adfs as its filing system. I'm trying to samba mount the drives on that machine - I can do it fine under Win98 but just can't seem to get the syntax right under Mandrake. The name of ROS machine is Florida and one of the shared drives is called HardDisc4. It's shared under Win98 as i: with a mount of \florida\harddisc4 and I thought I would be able to do something similar, but I've got precisely nowhere.

Have you tried

smbmount "\<IP Address of Acorn>\root" <mount point>

We have a lot of Acorn RISC PC's at work (Omnibus TV station automation) and this is how we connect to them. If your interested they run CBBC, CBeebies and BBC Choice!
