Fortunately, I have a "atapci1: " which provides access to my primary data drives, so merely replacing the failed boot drive that lived on the onboard ide controller would not result in a loss of critical data. Unfortunately, it appears that the fresh install of 4.8-RELEASE on a new, replacement boot drive is unable to mount the "old" drives on the Promise controller. Dmesg output still conveys that the controller and drive names (ad4, ad5, ad7) are found, but disklabel reports "disklabel: bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)" and attempts to mount fail. Please see below. I am inexperienced at migrations like this, and fear the loss of this large amount of critical data. See details below. Any help is appreciated. Thx. --Bill McMilleon Selected dmesg output: atapci0: port 0xf000-0xf00f at device 7.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 pci0: at 7.2 irq 10 atapci1: port 0x7400-0x740f,0x7000-0x7003,0x6c00 -0x6c07,0x6800-0x6803,0x6400-0x6407 mem 0xe0020000-0xe0023fff irq 9 at device 13 .0 on pci0 ata2: at 0x6400 on atapci1 ata3: at 0x6c00 on atapci1 . . . ad0: 8809MB [17898/16/63] at ata0-master WDMA2 ad4: 117800MB [239340/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 ad5: 171705MB [348861/16/63] at ata2-slave UDMA100 ad7: 156334MB [317632/16/63] at ata3-slave UDMA133 acd0: DVD-ROM at ata1-master PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a WARNING: R/W mount of /i120g denied.
