What is going on? Who knows? You haven't shown the output you got. But I'd guess you don't have device nodes for the drives. You also haven't said whether you're using the compatibility partition or a slice. You should check for /dev/da5e and /dev/da5s1e (depending) and create them with MAKEDEV if you don't already have them. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
