Do you mean that ad0s1 is not in /dev
I am making progress with my disk recovery, but I need to get to my /usr
partition, which is mounted on /dev/ad0s1g. The dev entries on the fixit
floppy don't have this slice listed, and there is no MAKEDEVS script to add
it.
How can I get to this partition
apg0.
For this I tried to enter Fixit mode by booting with the kern floppy, mfs
floppy. And to enter the LiveCD (disk 2) fixit mode.
I mounted my /usr directory and created a new kernel in my vi editor. Than I
run the config. This worked fine.
Than I wanted to make my kernel in the ../../config/MYK

Hello everyone.
[1] What is the best resource online for understanding how to use "fixit"??
I have a bootable FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE CD-R and I can start an emergency
"fixit" shell on vtty4 (you start it after booting into sysinstall "...using
