Can you plug in a direct ethernet line and transfer stuff somewhere if you can't get the wireless to go? > > 2. My /usr partition is on slice ad0s1g, but mount on the fixit disk > doesn't recognize that device. How can I mount this slice? Possibly it is now showing up as a different number drive such as may no longer disk 0, but disk 1 - as in ad1s1g. Just a wild guess. ////jerry ps, You don't mount the slice. You mount the device - actually the file system in the partition which you are identifying as 'g' which is in slice '1' on disk 0 (unless it has renumbered the disk to '1' or something). - just clarifying terminology. /jrm > > jm > -- > My other computer is your Windows box. > _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
