If /dev/wd0c (the entire first FreeBSD slice of disk wd0) is really your intention, you need to fixup your /etc/fstab, but i doubt that's what you want. p.s.: Please don't crosspost to install@freebsd.org, this list is intended for discussion/development of the installation tools, not for user questions. (The list is actually quite dead, and should probably be killed anyway.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
