I had a drive die on me, I have booted from CDROM and been able to mount the root partition /dev/wd0s1 but I have not been able to mount /dev/wd0s1g which is the partition I need to get to, because this is where some of the files are I need to get off this disk.. In fact I have been unable to successfully mount any of the partitions other than root. The device probe shows them all there but the /dev directory that is created with a cdrom boot only contains wd0s1 and no s1a,s1b,s1c etc.. I have tried mounting the root and then using its /dev directory to aid in mounting the other partitions: IE / is mounted in /tmp/root so I have tried: mount /tmp/root/dev/wd0s1g /tmp/usr but I get get bad mount command or some such, and it doesn't matter what partition a,b,c,d,e,f,g etc... they all respond the same way. Any help would be appreciated, as I need to get some source files off this drive Sean -- Garbage Collection... the bell bottoms of programming..
