[-- Attachment #1 --] OK...I Know this has been addressed. I am just hoping to save time. I have had to create a new freebsd box. I have done so and the system is running fine. I have a drive that had an existing system on it. I want to mount that drive on the new box. Now the question. How do I mount the old drive when there are no files in /dev to mount with. I remember doing this once before, and for the life of me I can not remember how to generate the /dev/adxxx file for the existing slices. Any help is greatly appreciated.
