mounting geom partition
Quite some time ago I setup a machine with a couple of 250GB disks in that were mirrored using geom, although I can't remember if I mounted it as 1x 250GB partition or several smaller ones. The machine they were in died, and I kept hold of one of the two disks so I could restore the data. I'm now at that point and it occurs to me that I don't know for sure how to remount it. Before I plug it in and accidentally write over the partition table or something, I just wanted to check with someone that what I'm thinking is about right. Having been going over the documentation again and from what I remember the partition table should still be there (fdisk should tell me this) and I should, in theory, be able to simply mount the partition(s) as regular filesystem(s), is this correct? Thanks in advance! jc ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: no /boot/loader - after installation
So I got a copy of boot-only 6.2 onto cd and went back into the bios and changed a few options: LBA mode: off Multi-sector transfers: auto Fast PIO: auto 32 bit transfer mode: on Ultra DMA: auto then ran the 6.2 install using dangerously dedicated which went fine and then on reboot now it comes up with Not ufs no /boot/loader so a slightly different message now, but still no go anyone? - jc On 20/07/07, John Clement <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The burner's been playing up recently so I've just been using the copy of 6.1 I've got.

The burner's been playing up recently so I've just been using the copy of 6.1 I've got. Maybe I'll get a copy of 6.2 burnt at work to try after the weekend.

Check your BIOS that you are allowing to write to the boot area. Many BIOS have a setting to not allow this to prevent a virus writing to the boot area. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by *MailScanner* <http://www.mailscanner.info/>, and is believed to be clean.

no /boot/loader - after installation
I'm installing 6.1 on an HP Vectra VL420, I've been in the BIOS to set the C/H/S as per what the install reports (I've tried an 80GB Seagate and a 250GB WD), the install all seems to go fine. I've tried the FreeBSD boot manager, a standard MBR and even setting the disk as dedicated, but regardless I end up with the same 'no /boot/loader' when it reboots.
