X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.5 10/14/92) To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: help with installer for 2.0.5 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk hello, I had a machine set up with FreeBSD 2.0.5, with an IDE disk as the primary drive and /usr on a separate SCSI disk. The IDE disk had the HDD controller die. I unfortunately did not have the means to have it backed up. I have a spare SCSI disk, and can use this as the new boot disk. My question is basically, what do I need to do in order to only install the / filesystem, as I already have /usr installed on the other disk? This disk is also not backed up and so I really don't want to muck up and lose all my data. I have the 2.0.5 CD. thanks in advance -- I work for 'em, I don't speak for 'em |===========> shari brooks <=========== AIS Host QA | dracon@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc. | dracon@aldebaran.armory.com If you blow fire against the wind, take care not to get the smoke in your eyes.
