You can only mount the root partition on any slice under fixit. I thought the initial message told you about this, but I may be mis-remembering. # mount /dev/ad0s1 /mnt will mount the "a" partition at the /mnt point. This assumes that the root partition is the 'a' partition. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
