Question: Can FreeBSD 2.2.5 see multiple root partitions on different drives? I have a 2 GB partition and a 4 GB partition. We want to use the 6GB partition as a backup of the other two drives to be bootable and just tar everything over. We figured out how to get around the boot up problem through the SCSI bios, but now FreeBSD 2.2.5 cannot mount the backup at all. We just want to be able to mount the partition so we can tar the 2 & 4 over as a backup of the box. Here is what I have: partition mounted as /dev/sd0a / /dev/sd0s1f /usr /dev/sd1s1e /usr/users /dev/sd0s1e /var but when I go to mount the 6GB drive, it does not recognize it. I just want to mount it as /backup and then have it bootable to be root incase of failure. Any suggestions??? Sincerely, A.J.
