I have a two disk system, and I'm trying to install FBSD6.2 on slice 2 of the second disk, a configuration that I've had working in the past. I'm using the Standard installation, select the second disk (ad1) and create a slice (ad1s2) and then create the partitions within that slice. On that disk, I install the FreeBSD Boot Manager (I have a third party boot manager installed on ad0 that boots FreeBSD). During the install, I ls /dev and find the ad1s2 partitions created. After the install, when I try to re-boot, it fails when it trys to mountroot. When I enter ?, I get a listr of GEOM managed disks, but the partitions are not listed, while the slice is. Any ideas on what I'm missing??? Thanks Jim Ballantine
