When I created the filesystem on wd0s3 using sysinstall, I told it the mountpoint would be /new-root, which was what I would mount it as temporarily, to copy stuff across. So, in the list it appeared as wd0s3c so I blindly used that instead of wd0s3a. Fixed now, thanks for the help. :-) -- Ben Smithurst : ben@scientia.demon.co.uk : http://www.scientia.demon.co.uk/ PGP: 0x99392F7D - 3D 89 87 42 CE CA 93 4C 68 32 0E D5 36 05 3D 16 http://www.scientia.demon.co.uk/ben/pgp-key.html (or use keyservers) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
