Hi, I have read through the 21.4 section of the Handbook to try and figure this out, but have not been able to completely fix my box: I recently decided to reorganize my disks in my Athlon/IDE FreeBSD4.7 system. I removed the primary master disk, since it was all Windows, and changed the remaining FreeBSD disk to be the master. This of course changed the target of the disk. I was able to boot the fixit disk and remake the ad0s1* partitions, which were / /var and /usr, however my swap and 2 other large partitions were ad1s3b, ad1s2e and ad1s4e respectively, and I cannot get my system to remake them, even with MAKEDEV ad0s2|s3|s4 etc.... All that it shows is ad0s2, s3, s4 without any slices in the /dev directory. From the address, I think I could predict/manually make the devices, but I'm not sure how to do it. Does anyone have any ideas? fdisk sees the other partitions inside FBSD.
