That seems strange that the swap and ext2fs are on seperate slices. Have you done an 'fdisk wd1' (read-only) to see what slice Linux is on, and then 'disklabel wd1s2' (if that is the slice - also read-only) to see what partition the ext2fs is on? It's been a while since I have done it, and I don't have anything set up now, but I believe that you can see the label on a Linux slice. fdisk will definately tell you which slice it is on though (although it will call it a partition instead of a slice). -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.
