I got some sleep and thought about it some more and was wondering if
it is possible that FreeSBIE (Running FreeBSD 5.3) simply can't read
my drive that was formated durring an install of 6.0. Or has it not
changed enough to cause that problem?
There is a:
/dev/ad0s1a
/dev/ad0s1b
/dev/ad0s1c
/dev/ad0s1d
/dev/ad0s1e
/dev/ad0s1f
I treid to mount all of those last night.
mount /dev/ad0s1f /mnt
I also tried
mount -t ufs /dev/ad0s1f /mnt
Same results every time. The device is busy.
Sincerely,
Joshua Lewis

Look in /dev for ad*.
