--nextPart1787977.LRmHHz3oaL Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hello All, I have 5-Stable and 4-Stable both on my desktop. On 4.x, I can easily mount= =20 OpenBSD slices with no hassle at all. How do I do this on 5.x? devfs doesn'= t=20 create the slices (ad6s3a and ad6s3e) but I can symlink /dev/ad6s3=20 to /dev/ad6s3a and mount the slice that way, with no problems. That won't=20 work for ad6s3e, in fact, doing so mounts ad6s3a! Any ideas? I'd like to=20 mount both from FreeBSD 5.x, since that is what I mainly use. I do this to= =20 copy my own files from one operating system to another, and for backups. Can I use mknod to make ad6s3e? I've tried, but to no avail. I created the OpenBSD slices and partitions by turning an unused FreeBSD=20 partition into an OpenBSD one around the time of FreeBSD 4.3, and noticed t= he=20 slices were mountable under 4.x with no problems at all. If worst comes to= =20 worst, I'll just boot FreeBSD 4.x to mount OpenBSD from FreeBSD.
