I really don't know what I've done. I shutdown the system and then turned off the power. The next time I tried booting, I could only mount the root partition. I have a Gateway P5-90 with two Western Digital IDE hard drives. One has dos/win and the other is solely FreeBSD. I wonder if some kind soul could give me a hand. So far this is what I can find: 1. when I run fsck it prints assorted normal stuff and then. /dev/wd1s1f: No such file or directory Can't stat /dev/wd1s1f /dev/wd1s1e: No such file or directory Can't stat /dev/wd1s1f 2. The swap partition is not mounted either (/dev/wd1s1b) 3. When I run disklabel -r /dev/wd1 (Freebsd is the second harddrive) I get: Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled) This looked to be bad. Is there anyone that can give me a hand? Thanks in Advance, Jason Jason Gilbert jason@scott.net/jason@homewood.net http://www.homewood.net/
