I guess I forgot to mention that I did search the archives for this problem. There was a post about this back in January, but a slightly different application.
How would I go about using a CDROM to boot from, obtain my data, move it to a real partition, and reboot my regular OS?

Hello all, I'm really screwed up my server last week, now I'm giving up on the 5.x series as a server for a while, so I've installed 4.9. I took all my backup files and placed them on a second harddrive in the system, hoping to just mount that drive on the new 4.9 system and restore the necessary files. However, I cannot mount the filesystem. From DiskLabel in /stand/sysinstall, I can see that it is /dev/ad1s1d, but when I type: mount /dev/ad1s1d /backup I get an error: mount: /dev/ad1s1d on /www: incorrect super block I have tried inserting a, b, c, d, e, f, and g and get the same error. Is there something I'm missing? When I try to mount the drive in /stand/sysinstall, I get an error about "Invalid Option". Thanks in advance for the help.
