Okay, I found that the fixit disk is able to mount the filesystem on the dying drive. But I have a couple of problems. 1. Since this is a laptop (no CD-R or other mass storage besides the drive) I need a way to get a few big tarballs made and sent elsewhere. I don't think a floppy will work. I have a parallel port zip drive I will try tomorrow. I can't figure out how to get my wi interface up. I loaded the kld, inserted the card and heard it beep, but no interface shows up, or at least pccardd didn't load it correctly. Not sure what to do next. 2. My /usr partition is on slice ad0s1g, but mount on the fixit disk doesn't recognize that device. How can I mount this slice? jm -- My other computer is your Windows box.
