You just create new entries with the same info on the disk as you had before. (It worked for me when I accidentally did a 'dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/ad2' once. The arguments should have been the other way around :-( Luckily the only data that got destroyed before I stopped it was part of an MSDOS partition that didn't contain anything important.) If you don't have and can't figure out that information you have a problem. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
