I'm having my own "mount madness" and have been watching for solutions here. I also have a similar setup with HD1 identified as "ad1" and "adis1", but have been unable to mount it. Here is the fdisk ad1 info: ******* Working on device /dev/ad1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1653 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1653 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 12,(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT, LBA) start 63, size 26555382 (12966 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254 The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED> Any more tips appreciated...
