Yes, if I can get a regular ed0 device to work. : ps, You don't mount the slice. You mount the device - actually the : file system in the partition which you are identifying as 'g' which : is in slice '1' on disk 0 (unless it has renumbered the disk to '1' or : something). I guess I don't know exactly how this works. I thought if I mounted the device it would mount all the partitions. But I cannot get to the /usr directory. jm -- My other computer is your Windows box. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
