Okay! Good news, I think. I used the 'fixit' mode, that is available through the installation disk, to mount the disk that fails to mount during boot up. What I did was: mount /dev/mfid0s1a /test It mounts successfully and I can see everything in that partition. So I guess the question now is, if I can mount it manually, why doesn't it mount during the boot process? -- John
