Are there negative effects to >running this way? Probably - I think MAKEDEV all will delete the old slice device files before going on to make new device files (missing the slice entries). Try running MAKEDEV sd0s1a (I think, assuming sd0s1 is your FreeBSD partition) and then try mounting something from the old /etc/fstab. I think it should work. It'd probably be safer to unmount it from the current non-slice device before trying the slice device, as I'm not sure what the effects would be of trying to mount the same slice, one through the old pre-slice device, and one through the new slice device :-) Gary
