partition table

Hi,

I'm new to Linux and having a difficult problem. I need to access a local hard drive (sdc) which has SunOS a a number of partitons installed. During the boot up there is a message about "unknown partition table" regarding this disk. I can mount its root directory using /dev/sdc but any attempt to access the other partitions using sdc1,..., sdc7, sdc8, etc. results an error message "mount: /dev/sdcn is not a valid block device.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
