D: and E: are almost certainly extended partitions right? extended partitions show up further on in the number sequence than you might initially guess. i.e. wd0s5 -- extended part. #1 (D) wd0s6 -- extended part. #2 (E) wd0s7 -- extended part. #3 (F) wd0s8 -- extended part. #4 (G) (this assumes that FreeBSD installed the appropriate device nodes s5-s8 at installation time). Don't know what's up if they're not extended partitions though. On Fri, Feb 12, 1999 at 01:04:55AM -0500, David Banning wrote: > Hello.
