First of all if you are running FreeBSD 3.1 there shouldn't be any references to /dev/ad* Did you install it on top of a 4.0 install or something weird like that? (The device drivers for IDE-disks were changed quite a bit between 3.x and 4.0) The errors look to me like you are either trying to run 3.x with a 4.0 /etc/fstab or if your message above was wrong and you are really running 4.0 that some entries in /dev wasn't created. Exactly how did you install it ? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
