I have a situation where I have a hard drive connected to a hd controller and that controller has kicked the bucket. I don't have a mate to swap with, but I do have a different controller card I can use. The problem being FreeBSD won't boot because the device names have obviously changed. I get to a mountroot prompt, and I can use ufs:da0s1a and that will give me read access to the directories only. The old slices where: /dev/mlxd0s1a #/ /dev/mlxd0s1e #/home /dev/mlxd0s1f #/usr /dev/mlxd0s1g #/var /dev/mlxd0s1h #/web Would the new slices be same letters at the end, just replace mlxd0 with da0 ? Then, I need to get write access to root, and update /etc/fstab with the new device names... what is the command to get read/write access? And is it possible to simply edit fstab? or are there more files that need to be updated.... My goal is to make this drive bootable again into FreeBSD. Any assistance greatly appreciated! -ger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
