Thanks John, I have tried as you suggested using a Live CD and yes the partitions uuid's are present in gptid .. I found the UUID's in /dev/gptid - how do I determine which uid corresponds to which partition (ufs or swap or boot) (I used glabel status and after some trial and error I found them) edited the fstab accordingly and everything is working now .. Is there a way to have both the /dev/XXXpYY and /dev/gptid/<uuid> present in /dev/ Thanks again for your support.
