No, it was not the drive that had the OS on it. It was originally mounted as
/data on a system that had FreeBSD 5.1 installed on a separate drive. We
determined the 80GB was UFS1. You wanted to try troubleshooting using
FreeBSD 4.9, so I obtained a spare system which I installed FreeBSD
4.9-RELEASE on. I then moved the 80GB from the 5.1 system (which is actually
5.2 now) and installed it into the 4.9 system on the 2nd controller. So now
4.9 is installed on a 20GB on /dev/ad0, and our problem 80GB is /dev/ad2.
