I got some sleep and thought about it some more and was wondering if it is possible that FreeSBIE (Running FreeBSD 5.3) simply can't read my drive that was formated durring an install of 6.0. Or has it not changed enough to cause that problem? There is a: /dev/ad0s1a /dev/ad0s1b /dev/ad0s1c /dev/ad0s1d /dev/ad0s1e /dev/ad0s1f I treid to mount all of those last night. mount /dev/ad0s1f /mnt I also tried mount -t ufs /dev/ad0s1f /mnt Same results every time. The device is busy.
