I know it for sure, passphrase is good. ad0s3 you are using a raw slice. Where is FreeBSD located? So you went to attach and you get no /dev/ad0s3.bde ? > Only one thing comes to my mind - yesterday I've run some livecd linux > distribution.. just looked around and shutdown - but I'm not sure, could > it overwrite something? I'd hope not, unless you went to install something, you can still boot FreeBSD off ad0? If you went to partition the drive it might have done something. > If so, how can I check this? Or, most important to me, is there any chance to fix this? Get fdisk output and any disklabels on ad0. Is s3 still the same? Even writing partitions from Linux fdisk shouldn't be a problem, unless changed. If not you have a back-up of the partition table or idea what you used? > > If You need more detailed informations please tell me what to do. > > Michal Bartkowiak -- Allan Fields, AFRSL - http://afields.ca 2D4F 6806 D307 0889 6125 C31D F745 0D72 39B4 5541
