I wouldn't expect that particular error message in that case, but you definitely need to boot something that understands UFS2. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RE: Mount an unknown drive
I got some sleep and thought about it some more and was wondering if it is possible that FreeSBIE (Running FreeBSD 5.3) simply can't read my drive that was formated durring an install of 6.0. Or has it not changed enough to cause that problem? There is a: /dev/ad0s1a /dev/ad0s1b /dev/ad0s1c /dev/ad0s1d /dev/ad0s1e /dev/ad0s1f I treid to mount all of those last night. mount /dev/ad0s1f /mnt I also tried mount -t ufs /dev/ad0s1f /mnt Same results every time. The device is busy.

Mount an unknown drive
I have a server that has been inoperative for the last few months (FreeBSD 6.0). I decided to turn on the system and it goes right to a boot prompt. So I downloaded FreeSBIE and am trying to mount the old drive to see if there is any data on the drive worth saving. When I try to mount /dev/ad0s1f /mnt I get a device busy message. Am I even trying to mount the correct slice. I have tried s1a - s1f. Is it possible it was already mounted and that is why it says it is busy. There is nothing in dmesg that shows asd0*.
