Dear members, I'll bash in right away.
Here is what happend: 1) I replaced my old motherboard with a new one, and reconnected all components, that where on the old board, to the new one. 2) Booting did go well, till the message: "Root mount failed". 3) I redifined the mount points of / /tmp /var /usr via Index>label and toggled N to Y (Boot-cd), just like it was on installation. 4) Booting didn't go well, so I let the boot-cd create a new MBR. 5) System started up fine, but all users are gone, no root-password needs to be given when loggin in, mount directories of previous harddisks are gone. Bottom line, I don't recognize my old system's directory structure, it's like a new system. (No, I din't format, re-sliced, etc). Questions: a) What to do to get a system up and running after putting a harddisk on another (S)ATA channel on the motherboard? (So, I don't screw up next time). b) How could I get my old system back, or this not possible because I screwed up? My system: Old board ABIT BX-133, new Abit VA6 FreeBSD 5.3 RC1. Already installed, so no new installation. Disk with OS: MAXTOR 40GB. I searched freebsd.org, google.com and several forums. No relevant information could be retrieved by me. Thank you very much for your time.
