In order to give you the right answer, we would need to know how that disk was organised: - slice (of fdisk type); use the command fdisk -s /dev/da1 - partitions (or disklabel); use the command disklabel /dev/da1s1 (if the slice with FreeBSD is the slice 1) - Now you may have used your disk witout slice, I cannot help, or without partition (like Linux), I cannot help either. You can also run /sur/sbin/sysinstall. In Configure choice, you will have two menus, Fdisk and Label, that does the same thing as the command fdisk and disklabel. Only when you know what you want to mount, we can tell you how to mount it. Best regards, olviier
