I have been trying to upgrade forever w/ endless problems, but may have found the cause of some of the problems. Running O/S 6.0. My system disk is displayed in df etc as /dev/ad0 with slice & partitions as ad0s1a, ad0s1b, ad0s1e, .. , etc. It is similarly displayed under /dev. However, when I get to the disk label editor it shows up as ad0a, and slice & partitions as ad0as1a, ad0as1b, ad0as1e, .. , etc. I've tried changing these, even with the Fdisk editor but they seem to persist, perhaps when I restore the dump files. NOTE: ad0a or add0asx ... etc does not show up under /dev . Needless to say the following are standard messages from the upgrade attempts Error mounting /mnt/dev/ad0as1e on /mnt/tmp : Input/output error Error mounting /mnt/dev/ad0as1f on /mnt/usr : Input/output error Is there any solution to this short of reformatting the whole disk as new disk from scratch. Thanks!
