My external disk is named /disk4 it is on SCSI > controller 0 and SCSI address 4. Thank you for your help. I would do it "manually" with fstab. Something like this in /etc/fstab: /dev/dsk/dks0d4s7 /disk4 efs raw=/dev/rdsk/dks0d4s7 0 0 you may have to use s6 or s7 depending on your HD. Then create the directory /disk4: > mkdir /disk4 > mount /disk4 Then you should be all set to access the HD. If you still have problems with access, you may want to go into to miniroot and access the HD to make a backup copy (yes you can do this even if the HD is giving you problems, saved my butt a few times) of the data before doing anything else.
