OK. Thanks for the input.
I hate to belabor the point; but, why then does mount show the
device driver associated with my / partition as /dev/sd0a
while fdisk says that my FreeBSD partition is partition 2.
(Partition 1 is msdos and partitions 3 and 4 are unused (at
least according to fdisk)). I would think, if anything,
that /dev/sd0a would be associated with the very first
partition (in my case the msdos partition). IOW, I would think
that 0 would go with the very first partition, 1 with the second,
etc.
I'll save for another question the fact that the device driver
for my /usr partition is /dev/sd02f and the device driver for
my /var partition is /dev/sd02e. I have no idea how those were
determined. I also am still unclear on what the device driver
for my msdos partition should be.
Thanks for any further input. (Again, sorry to drag this out.)
