Hello,
Thank you for your reply. How would i go about doing this copy so i
could use a vnode on it? As i think i mentioned dump didn't like it. One
other thing i can mount the ad1a, ad1d, ad1f, and ad1g partitions just fine,
it's the ad1e partition only that is giving me the grief and that's the one
i need!
Thanks.
Dave.
