This drive has been dedicated since the initial installation about a year ago. I have rebooted several times. Now the only way I can get the machine to boot into multi user mode is to comment out the device entry for this drive. I then can "mount /dev/da1 /bak" with not problem but if I try "mount /dev/da1s1e /bak" I get device not configured. Also /stand/sysinstall shows da0 and da1 in 'disk label editor" and all the slice entries are correct for da0, but da1 shows no entries at all On Fri, 5 May 2000, Michael R.
