Try copying the new MAKEDEV over and doing a ./MAKEDEV sd0, then try: mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s1 /dos Assuming, of course, that slice 1 is the DOS partition. This is actually a very GOOD part of the change and I'm happy that we have it. It will make auto-detecting and mounting the DOS partition from the install much easier (I can just look to see what partition is a DOS partition and then mount the corresponding slice). Aha, ok, this worked for me, I now understand a lot more about the slice scheme (took only 30 seconds wall clock time and 1 second CPU time). I would suggest documenting the living hell out of this. The gratuitous kernel printfs when accessing the label are a bit much, do they only happen when booting in verbose mode? sd0s1: start 32, end = 511999, size 511968: OK sd0s4: start 512000, end = 3514367, size 3002368: OK sd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice sd0: start 512000, end 3514367, size 3002368 sd0d: start 0, end 3514367, size 3514368 sd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice sd0h: start 32, end 511999, size 511968 sd1s1: start 32, end = 819199, size 819168: OK sd1s2: start 819200, end = 2041855, size 1222656: OK sd1s5: start 819232, end = 2041855, size 1222624: OK sd0s1: start 32, end = 511999, size 511968: OK sd0s4: start 512000, end = 3514367, size 3002368: OK sd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice sd0: start 512000, end 3514367, size 3002368 sd0d: start 0, end 3514367, size 3514368 sd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice sd0h: start 32, end 511999, size 511968 bpf: lo0 attached bpf: tun0 attached sd0s1: start 32, end = 511999, size 511968: OK sd0s4: start 512000, end = 3514367, size 3002368: OK sd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice sd0: start 512000, end 3514367, size 3002368 sd0d: start 0, end 3514367, size 3514368 sd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice sd0h: start 32, end 511999, size 511968 sd1s1: start 32, end = 819199, size 819168: OK sd1s2: start 819200, end = 2041855, size 1222656: OK sd1s5: start 819232, end = 2041855, size 1222624: OK sd1s1: start 32, end = 819199, size 819168: OK sd1s2: start 819200, end = 2041855, size 1222656: OK sd1s5: start 819232, end = 2041855, size 1222624: OK sd1s1: start 32, end = 819199, size 819168: OK sd1s2: start 819200, end = 2041855, size 1222656: OK sd1s5: start 819232, end = 2041855, size 1222624: OK sd1s1: start 32, end = 819199, size 819168: OK sd1s2: start 819200, end = 2041855, size 1222656: OK sd1s5: start 819232, end = 2041855, size 1222624: OK sd1s1: start 32, end = 819199, size 819168: OK sd1s2: start 819200, end = 2041855, size 1222656: OK sd1s5: start 819232, end = 2041855, size 1222624: OK I'm going to try writing out the new boot blocks, now that I understand what things should be doing a little better. This is not going to be fun to support, but I have to admit that it's far nicer than the old organization. Kudos to all.
