I'm still lost. Around 95/03/23 08:09:02 -current wouldn't bring up my f partition anymore. It does however boot, mount a and e correctly and then pukes on f saying can't read sectors 16-31, not a BSD labelled drive. My f partition is about 1.6GB. The whole drive was used for FreeBSD. I remember the install code talking about slicing and having to install slice 1 (0) as the FreeBSD slice. Is there another level of slicing? How does one "slice" a drive?
