Assuming I've got the right words, maybe it is the extended partition itself that is sd0s2, but the logical partitions contained within that extended partition start numbering at sd0s5. I don't have any such systems right now, but I have had before and I think I had to do something like this: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV sd0s5h to get all of the partition device files created as well. -- Scott Blachowicz Ph: 206/283-8802x240 Mathsoft (Data Analysis Products Div) 1700 Westlake Ave N #500 scott@statsci.com Seattle, WA USA 98109 Scott.Blachowicz@seaslug.org
