Danny, Thanks for the link. This was actually the first link we tried to get working and after it failed to work we followed the link on the page to http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/. Everything worked fine until we arrived at this step below. # mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt It seems that gmirror does not give us any partitions. A listing of the mirror directory shows only the gm0 node even though da0 is partitioned. When mounting the mirror it seems that /dev/mirror/gm0 only represents the root partition. How can we get the mirror to recognise the other partitions?
