Hi, I'm writing from the emergency fixit shell on a 4.4 RC0 box. Somehow, I've lost all my /dev entries for my IDE hard-drive (ad0s3...) This is what I get on boot attempt: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s3a no such device 'ad' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 I've managed to boot from 4.3-REL CD#2 and get a fixit shell going with connectivity to my network. My questions are: 1. how do I mount the hard-drive slices? 2. how do I rebuild the /dev entries? Many thanks in advance... -- Dead in the water for now, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
