I'm setting up a FreeBSD box that someone else started. It booted fine, mounting the first disk, root partition as ad1s1a. However I couldn't get the second disk to show up. So I gave it to another friend who knows more about pc BIOS's and he just pulled some connectors and put them back and got both disks to be recognized, and now the root disk won't mount. I was able to figure out that the first disk is now being recognized as ad6. I can only mount it as read only now (ufs:ad6s1a), and I can't run fsck, which is still looking for ad4. I can't change fstab since it's ro. Also, ad6 is not in /dev (nor the second disk, which is ad10). What's going on? Why did ad4 become ad6? Is there a way to get it back to ad4? Thanks, Josh.
