this is so fantastic...
I have two hard-drives:
A has a UFS slice and a ZFS slice with FreeBSD 8.1
B has was a former FreeBSD drive, now holds one NTFS-partition and Windows XP
ZFS cannot be mounted by Windows, so my only chance is to use FreeBSD for the transfer.
But fdisk and sysinstall show me funny things and there are no devices-nodes:
Trying to mount any of those partition results in
Reading the geom-label says:
So what next? How can I mount the NTFS-partition?
