MARK FILE SYSTEM CLEAN? yes


***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****

However:

14:29:38 # ls -a /altroot
. ..

right.  its not mounted.


Perhaps I should have changed /etc/fstab?; like this:

no.

bb128e900f20094a.a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1
#bb128e900f20094a.d /altroot ffs xx 0 0
/dev/wd0d /altroot ffs xx 0 0

Kind regards,

definitely not.
All is working properly, do not "fix" it, you can only break it at this point.

dd'ing a file system is very brute-force-ish. dd off a live file system (as the ALTROOT process does) can give you some issues (hence the fsck afterwards), dd'ing TO a live file system...well, let's just leave it at "ick".

There's no problem here. IF you want something off /altroot, mount it manually, extract it, and unmount it.
