So let me ask if you saw any issues with sysinstall? Did you partition the disk and did newfs run without error? Before you exit sysinstall you can check and see what is on the disks from the emergency shell on vtty4. You can do a mount command and see what and where things are mounted and do an ls on those filesystems. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
