Hi, I am now trying to do it now on a FreeBSD machine so I did : su-2.05b#mdconfig -a -t vnode -f freebsd.img => response : "md0" Then I mounted successfully : /dev/md0s1d (/var), /dev/md0s1e(/tmp) and /dev/md0s1f (/usr). But I can not mount /dev/md0s1a which is the root directory where "/boot/boot.conf" is located : su-2.05b# mount /dev/md0s1a /mnt/a mount: /dev/md0s1a: Operation not permitted Any hint ? -aziz _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
