I have a relatively new installation of FreeBSD 5.3 which I have been running as a file server. Recently we had a power outage and when I booted up the machine again, instead of a normal boot sequence I was given an "automount" prompt. I understand that I have to mount a disk slice and fsck my hard drive (I think this is right, please correct me if I'm wrong), only its been a while since I sliced up my hard drive and I've forgotten what the disk looks like. Is there anyway of investigating the disk geometry from this automount prompt? The only commands I seem to have available are mount commands. Thanks, Dan.
