Hey everyone,
I am new to this forum site and I need to know a bit about Freesbie. I am trying to figure out how to access my harddrive from the livecd and write to my hd. I know it's not hard, but it is a mystery to me till I get some convenient input. Can anyone out there walk me through?
Thanx (back to basix)

Boot the box up, open any terminal program and type

Look it through to find anything that resemles your hdd. After that feel free to mount all the slices as usual (mount /dev/.. /). After writing everything you need to the hdd umount all its mounted slices. That's all...

I tried what you had suggested and I can only seem to get parts of the mount command to actually do something.
I typed in: "mount -rw fstype /dev/ad0" I typed that in after "dmesg|less". So, no luck still. I am reading every manual known to man kind concerning the mount command and I still can't seem to do anything.
Still, thank you.
mount -rw fstype /dev/ad0
mount -rw fstype /dev/ad0
it's not quite correct.
First of all, you missed slice - it should look like ad0s1a and smth like that. Secondly, you should mount a slice to a mount point, so the command should look like
mount -rw fstype /dev/ad0s.. /mnt/here
anyway,
