Hello All, I have 5-Stable and 4-Stable both on my desktop. On 4.x, I can easily mount OpenBSD slices with no hassle at all. How do I do this on 5.x? devfs doesn't create the slices (ad6s3a and ad6s3e) but I can symlink /dev/ad6s3 to /dev/ad6s3a and mount the slice that way, with no problems. That won't work for ad6s3e, in fact, doing so mounts ad6s3a! Any ideas? I'd like to mount both from FreeBSD 5.x, since that is what I mainly use. I do this to copy my own files from one operating system to another, and for backups.
Can I use mknod to make ad6s3e? I've tried, but to no avail. I created the OpenBSD slices and partitions by turning an unused FreeBSD partition into an OpenBSD one around the time of FreeBSD 4.3, and noticed the slices were mountable under 4.x with no problems at all. If worst comes to worst, I'll just boot FreeBSD 4.x to mount OpenBSD from FreeBSD. TIA, Eric Buchanan
