I added an 8 gig drive to the promise controller. linux saw it as /dev/hdf/ I unplugged the power to the 80 and 120 gig drives, which are ext3, and only left the 8 gig (didnt want to accidentaly hose my linux install with fbsd) I installed bsd onto the 8 gig successfully. now freebsd is identifying this 8 gig drive which is all freebsd as: /dev/ad5s1 (partitions are /dev/ad5s1a, f, g, and e - which fbsd auto-partitioned) I plugged my linux drives back in and booted into freebsd (I added freebsd's info into grub.conf since the system boots to the bootloader on the 80 gig redhat 8 drive) it boots into freebsd, still on /ad5s1. I want to mount my ext3 partitions but I dont know what their device address is "fdisk" defaults to /dev/ad0 which appears to be the 80 gig attatched to the mobo ide controller, I will try to see if i can mount that, but I cant find the 120 gig on the promise card, I would think it would be at /dev/ad5s0 since it is the 1st drive on the promise card and bsd sees the 2nd drive on the promise card (8 gig freebsd install) as /dev/ad5s1, but "fdisk /dev/ad5s0" gives No such file or directory. fdisk /dev/ad5s2 gives something - ******* Working on device /dev/ad5s2 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 blks/cyl) fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found fdisk: /boot/mbr: length must be a multiple of sector size so it cant seem to read the ext3 partitions on the 120 gig, but it can see the partitions on the 80 gig /dev/ad0 ok: ******* Working on device /dev/ad0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=9964 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=9964 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 131,(Linux filesystem) start 63, size 5124672 (2502 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 318/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 131,(Linux filesystem) start 5124735, size 1012095 (494 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 319/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 381/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 130,(Linux swap or Solaris x86) start 6136830, size 1012095 (494 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 382/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 444/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 4 is: sysid 15,(Extended DOS, LBA) start 7148925, size 152922735 (74669 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 445/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
