I did a stupid thing and zapped my system FreeBSD 4.3 system disk (/dev/ad0) with FDISK and Label (in /stand/sysinstall)instead of zapping /dev/da0 that I intended to do. Needless to say, my system got sick. I have built a new FreeBSD 4.10 system on another disk and have the old (zapped) system disk installed in the system (but not mounted). Is there a way to reconstruct the disk label? (I need to find the locations of the / (ad0s1a), /usr (ad0s1f), and /var (ad0s1e), and then write a suitable disk label without destroying the data on the disk. I feel so dumb doing this, but it seems strange that FDISK would allow me to zap the label of a mounted disk. Anyway, please help me save my system! TIA orvile. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
