Have I missed something obvious? > Are E: and F: primary partitions or logical drives in an extended partition? If they are in an extended partition then the numbering starts at 5, i.e. E: will be wd1s5 and F: wd1s6, else if they are primary partitions they will be wd1s1 and wd1s2 (change ``wd'' to ``sd'' if it is a SCSI disk). Note, I'm pretty sure the primary slave will be wd1, unless FreeBSD numbers both primaries first (but I don't think so) in which case the primary slave will be wd2. Also check that all the device nodes exist in /dev. HTH > NB: I'm relatively new to FreeBSD; when I say "partition" above I mean > "partition" in the sense of MSDOS and Windows 95.
