Tim, that did the trick. I followed that sequence with the livefs cd, then= did: # mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /temp/; mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1f /temp/tempusr/ and copied /temp/tempusr/boot to /temp/ (minus kernel.old so it would fit) and the system boots again. > And I would like to note.. =C2=A0raid0 is striping, gstripe. =C2=A0raid1 = is > mirroring. =C2=A0I find it hard to recognize raid0 as your boot device. Right. It is raid1. Cheers, Joey
