Nevertheless I found the solution myself in the meantime: The reason I couldn't mount the partitions, even after generating device nodes for them (like ad0s1e,...) was that I didn't do a fsck first. The solution came to me after I discovered that I could mount the partitions readonly, but not r/w. So I fsck-ed them, with fsck fixing some things then I could mount the partitions. Thanks neverthelss for the hint with atacontrol - I'll keep in in my records since you never know when disaster strikes again... Cheers, -ewald
