Hi,
I spent this lovely weekend replacing our primary disk on an Everex
386/25. The problem is that when I try to mount the two partitions on the
second disk I get a mount error:
mount: cannot access special file
mount: No such device or address
Oh yeah, the first time that I try the mount I get a message as follows:
%disk - - - cyl: xxxx head: xxx sec/trk: xxx
something like that. Anyway, was there something stored on the primary disk
besides the special files in /dev that wasn't restored when I restored the
files? Do I have to run ``mknod'' or something like that? I do not want to
run mkdev hd because I'll loose my data on the second drive (well, I have it
on tape but it'll be a pain getting it...). Please respond to me because I
need to fix this as soon as possible. Thanks!
