Mountpoints are recorded in /etc/fstab. The format is fairly self-explanitory, but if you've questions, the man page is helpful. YOu can also remout things manually to get your system back to where you want it and then edit /etc/fstab to make sure those mounts stay across a reboot. umount /usr will unmount your user partition, while mount /dev/da0s1b /usr will mount the second partition of your first SCSI disk to /usr (for example) See the man pages for more. -Bill "Philip J.
