I have two hard drives on my system. ad0 has only Free BSD installed and is the master and ad1 has multiple partitions, (1 FREEBSD, 2 FAT32) and is the slave FreeBSD is able to detect both the drives but doesnot show the partitions of ad1 in /dev, because of which I am unable to mount it. The MAKEDEV script is not there, since devfs is supposed to take care of this all . Even the fdisk utility in sysinstall shows ad1 as a single block and not the individual partitions. I donot wish to repartition ad1 since I have lots of data in the drive and cannot afford to loose it. Help and ideas needed to solve this problem.

First of all, I'm not a novice regarding the FreeBSD/i386, but it's the first time I have to use sparc64-compatible Netra t1 105 (used) machine. So my main question is - how to install the FreeBSD on this beast? Machine is equipped with 2 SCSI HDDs, also I've found 2 Ethernet ports and 2 serial ports; first of them is the serial console. I've made the serial cable and got the startup messages: LOMlite console Standby lom> LOM event: LOM reset lom> LOM event: power on screen not found. keyboard not found. Keyboard not present. Using ttya for input and output. They suggest (screen/keyboard not found) that there can be a some kind of system console, but it's missing, correctly? Then it initializes memory and tries to boot off the HDD. So: 1. Is it possible to stop this sequence and boot off the CDROM via the add-on Promise TX2 PCI controller (the beastie has 1 32-bit PCI slot). 2. If no, how one can install the FreeBSD on such a beastie?

Anyone please correct me if I am mistaken, but the way I understand it i386 partition tables will not function on sparc64, I don't think any system supports the direct drive transfers due to endian issues. Even if it did, I don't think freebsd-sparc64 supports FAT file systems (for the previous reason). | Help and ideas needed to solve this problem. I know you said you don't want to repartition, but that's about the only option I know of... you might wait to see if you get a different answer, but here's a quick solution for you if you have a spare drive laying around. Tar format is endian-free (or close enough anyway), and I hear creating a tar file of all other files straight onto the raw disk device (i.e. tar -f /dev/ad1 files) from an i386 PC, then untaring the files into your new sparc partition table on the old drive works pretty well... Not exactly the most straight forward, but it is a bit faster than burning to DVDs or tape drives. Again, anyone know anything wrong with that chime in... and sorry if this was already answered, I just get the one a day lists...
