Here's my scenario: I'm running 4.10 on a laptop, and the drive is in the process of dying. It won't boot, but from the fixit disk I am able to access the root directory. Root is assigned to ad0s1a, which the fixit disk has in the /dev directory. However, /usr is on ad0s1g. There is no entry for this device in /dev, and no MAKEDEV script either. How can I mount this device/partition to access /usr? Also, I'm trying to decide how to get the data off the laptop. I have a wi card and a parallel port zip drive. Which would be easier to get working? Can I simply copy the modules from another 4.10 box and then break into the boot cycle and load them there? jm --
