In single user mode I can mount /var. I want to take this disk and put it in another FreeBSD system and try to copy the files I need off of it to a safe place. The system I will plug it into will also have a separate disk with /var. Is there going to be a conflict with the labels and how would I best go about this? system is FreeBSD v6.2 Thank you in advance for guidance, suggestions. JK
