What, exactly, was the error message again? You may want to post hardware details as well, because it might be an incompatible disk/controller. The error message is pretty important because it might not be what you think it is. Also ... didn't you say this was on 5.0? If so, -CURRENT may be a better list to post the question to, as this might be a problem specific to -CURRENT. > When I specify mount points manually I enter "/" or > "/usr", not "mnt/usr".
