I wrote to the list about this problem about a month ago. The problem then was that I had added a new drive, assigning it the name ad1. When rebooting, this drive could not be mounted. Jean-Marc Zucconi kindly suggested I add the drive as wd1 instead, which seemed to work find. Now the problems have reoccured. The problem is that whenever I try to access the drive, I get these errors: # mount /dev/wd1 /mnt ad1: HARD READ ERROR blk#0 status=59 error=04 wd1: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0 mount: Input/output error This is the same regardless if I use mount, disklabel, sysinstall, fsck or fdisk. But the drive is there, dmesg reports: ad1: 2014MB [4092/16/63] at ata0-slave BIOSPIO Since changing from ad1 to wd1 worked the last time, I'm thinking this might have anything to do with the problem, and I'm a little confused that ad1 is mentioned both in the error messages from mount and in the dmesg. It should be wd1, shouldn't it? Since I can't access the drive at all, I don't know how to restart. Is there a more low level format or something that I could try? My fstab says this: /dev/wd1 /mnt ufs rw 2 2 My kernel-config says this: device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 device ata device atadisk I am using an old 486-66dx and the drive is a Fujitsu MPB3021AT Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
