Hi list, I'm in the mid of migrating my workstation from OpenBSD/amd64 to FreeBSD/amd64. I have three hard discs installed in it (two identical 250GByte SATA300, and one 500GByte SATA300 drive). When still running OpenBSD, I copied all data I want to transfer to the 500GByte drive; I plan to run the two 250GByte HDs as RAID1 when running FreeBSD. Prior to installing FreeBSD on this machine, I grabbed the 500GByte HD (with one single OpenBSD FFS partition on it, 'wd2a' in OpenBSD speak) and tried to mount it on a FreeBSD machine. Unfortunately, this doesn't work, but I'm pretty sure it should. I probably don't use the right parameter: # mount /dev/ad8s1a /mnt/ mount: /dev/ad8s1a : No such file or directory (I thought that the first -- and only -- partition on OpenBSD would show up as 'slice 1' on FreeBSD.) Help greatly appreciated -- thank you! Seth
