hardware on my first FreeBSD server has crashed. i was planning on swapping the HD into another machine, booting the generic kernel and then custom tailoring it to the new machine specs.
however, i'm having a problem. the new machine is using a promise ultra100 card. i don't have any issues with this, because the drive seems to boot off the card fine, however, i get into a problem with mounting the partitions. the drive shows up as ad6 i've tried manually booting by entering 'mount ufs:/dev/ad6' however that's not working. i figured that i wasn't telling it what slice to use... so i tried adding s1a, etc after ad6, but still no luck. i guess, i don't know the exact bootslice. 'lsdev' doesn't seem to help me too much either. is there anyway to salvage this system, or do i need to do a reinstall? any and all help will be greatly appreciated. -Sameer __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
