If I understand correctly, the problem is something like this:-
wd0 DOS slice, FreeBSD-2.1.0 root partition
sd0 not relevant here
sd1 dedicated FreeBSD-2.0 disk with a trashed root partition, but a
/usr partition with valuable data in it.
System will boot off FreeBSD partition on wd0, but on attempting to
mount /dev/sd1s1d, gives errors about "overlapping partitions" and
mounts the trashed root partition instead! How to recover data from
/usr?
I don't really know what to suggest here - I remember seeing someone
posting about an FTP site with 2.0 and 2.0.5 on it, but I don't have
the details any more.
Anyone else?
