I don't know what you did wrong, but please redirect your question to the -questions list. Also include some more information on your harddrive partitioning. "ad10s3" seems extremely unusual. In FreeBSD parlance, it means the third primary partition on the *tenth* ATA drive. If you mistyped, and meant "ad1s3", make sure this is the third partition BEFORE any extended partitions (which should always be the last). David
