I lost my partition info during an upgrade. I never actually wnet ahead with the upgrade, yet but I guess I overwrote the info that says whre my partitions are mounted, and I'm unsure whichi is which.. I don't want to map / to the wrong partition and have the /etc/master.passwd and other important files overwritten. I have the latest boot floppies, and I can get to sysinstall - I'm wondering if there is a way to get the proper info off the disks? I have a large partition that I can overwrite if it's worth doing a minimal install to that partition to read teh origional fstab file, but is there a easier or better way? I have to get this back up ASAP, so anything that is quick and easy (HA!) would be great... Thanks.
