Right ON!! Just what I needed! I did some snooping around in the meantime: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV sd1 hw.disknames => sd0:, cd0:, rd0:c1cbee....., sd1:9a607...... fdisk -v sd1 => lots of output - looks okay to me fdisk -v sd1a => Disk: sd1a geometry: 91201/255/63 [xxxxxxxxx Sectors] Offset: 0 Signature:0x57c No MBR or GPT fsck -p /dev/rsd1a => /dev/rsd1a: file system is clean; not checking disklabel sd1 => all looks good - got a screeshot I'm slowly re-learning the BSD way of things.
