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.
