Try doing "sh MAKEDEV da1s1e" in /dev; that should make the device entries for you. > It would be alot of help to know what the fstab entry for this dirve > should look like. That depends on the layout of the drive. Does it use MSDOS slices at all? Can you read the disklabel off of it, or do you know what it was on SunOS? It's not at all clear that you can do what you're trying to do. SunOS usually refers to the BSD-based versions of Sun's OS, but that doesn't mean the file systems will be the same. The file system has changed quit a bit since Sun forked the code. <mike > > > - --------------F44A06D45BDCCB368CB8B369 > Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; > name="gsimonoff.vcf" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Content-Description: Card for greg simonoff > Content-Disposition: attachment; > filename="gsimonoff.vcf" > > begin:vcard > n:Simonoff;Gregory > tel;work:(510) 286-4659 > x-mozilla-html:FALSE > org:Calif State Dept of Transportation;Software Development > version:2.1 > email;internet:gsimonoff@geocities.com > title:PE / Electrical Engineer (CA license) > adr;quoted-printable:;;111 Grand Avenue =0D=0A;Oakland ;CA;94623; > note;quoted-printable:Java, HTML, C++, C=0D=0AUNIX, OS9=0D=0A > fn:Gregory Simonoff > end:vcard > > - --------------F44A06D45BDCCB368CB8B369-- > > > _________________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
