Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="3.0" Content-Disposition: inline; filename="3.0" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I was a user of -Stable until very recently, when I decided to try 3.0-R. I've had a brilliant idea of cutting my HD in 3 partitions : M$ (wd0s1), 2.2-Stable (wd0s2) and one partition for 3.0. (wd0s3) with the 2.2-Stable Sysinstall, I've created the 3rd partition and sliced it to mimick the existing 2.2-Stable one (my first intention was to clone the -Stable partition and the make the -Stable to 3-0 upgrade via cvsup/"make world"). Then I've lost everything : booteasy can't boot from the -Stable partition (F2 and F3 point to the empty 3.0 partition ....). I've installed a fresh 3.0-R in the third partition (directly from the 'Net : a fast access and a boot diskette and off you go :-)) ) I'm wondering how I can recover files from the (I hope still untouched) -Stable partition. For the moment wd0s2 has a "dos" tag (!=165) will I recrash everything if I tag it as a FreeBSD partition ? AtDhVaAnNkCsE TfH PS : why was the doscmd binary not installed on the 3.0-R ?
