Date: Mon, 09 Mar 1998 11:48:46 -0600 From: Patrick Hartling Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG After recent recently trying to install the cam patches, I seemed to have been left with a system that simply would not boot. It would get to the place where it mounts root, and then ti would hang. I have tried new kernels, cam kernels, recent kernels, old generic kernels, all without luck. Anyways, I finally just went to reinstall(upgrade) to fix the problems. Unfortunately, somehow, the install disk seems to have toasted the disklabels on both of my disks with very little effort. :( It did leave the bios partitions intact though. Can anyone please tell me how to go about recovering? Will I need to manually grovel the disk for this information? I also have ccds that contain my home dir, so I would like these back as well. I unfortunately do not have real recent backups, or a way of making them.
