I've just replaced a hard disk that was dying fast. I've done a full installation of 4.9 (later releases won't install, which I've submitted a problem report on already). The old disk is connected but not mounted. Searching around, I found some suggestions to try to read the old disk to restore what I can and I used dd to copy what could be found (dd -if=/dev/ad0s1e of=/usr/olddsk/oldimag.dmg conv=noerror,sync) and it seems to have copied the file. Now, I'm a little stuck. Can someone help me understand how do I mount that image somewhere to browse it and copy what I can from it? If I'm not going about this the right way, I'd appreciate other suggestions
