Now I have the hard disk I want to recover mounted but please for give me
for being in the learning phase, but how to I cd on to this drive?
I mounted it using the suggested 'mount -r (in this case ad12s1d) /var'
now how do I actually read it?
What you've done there is mount your salvage drive over your running
system's /var. That's probably going to give you problems, possibly
very quickly. Just umounting the incorrect /var is probably not going
to be enough. You might have to reboot.
Once that's cleared up, use a mountpoint that's not doing anything.
/mnt is commonly used for that.
mount -r /dev/ad12s1d /mnt
Then /mnt contains the salvage drive's var filesystem:
cd /mnt
ls
