Hi all,

I have two hd's: one has my OpenBSD system (wd0) and the other one is
for backup purposes. When OpenBSD 3.9 was released I formatted my wd0
to install it, but I didn't do a thing with wd1. But when I tried to
mount it (file system type ffs) it returns the following message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# mount -t ffs /dev/wd1a /mnt/backup/
mount_ffs: /dev/wd1a on /mnt/backup: Device not configured

Could please anyone help me? There goes the disklabel.

The disklabel shows that the parition type is 'unused'. It must be set
to '4.4BSD'. You can do this from in disklabel, of course. BUT, I
think this indicates some bigger problem: what killed your disklabel?
Are you sure this is really the disk you think it is?
