In the process of going through an update (I finally got that sorted out) all of my partitions were renamed. Here they are: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/label/rootfs0 507630 326734 140286 70% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev /dev/label/var0 1012974 170386 761552 18% /var /dev/label/usr0 33292236 9358560 21270298 31% /usr linprocfs 4 4 0 100% /usr/compat/linux/proc /dev/md0 789518 16 726342 0% /tmp As you can see, root, which was once /dev/ad0s1a, is now /dev/label/rootfs0, and /var, which was once /dev/ad0s1d, is now /dev/label/var0. Along with these changes the /etc/fstab was automatically modified to allow the boot process to take place. Can someone give me a heads up as to what is going on here. Rem
