I'm running FreeBSD-7.2 on the PC whose specs are given at the signature below.
I've connected an IDE harddisk on which FreeBSD-7.4 is installed. I'd like to copy some files from it into the current harddisk

The ones starting with ad2 is the current one (on which FreeBSD-7.2 is installed) because when I mount it it gives the contents of the current one. So I reckon (for the lack of clues) that I need to mount the ad1
when I do
On other related posts, it's been recommended to check fstab to see if it contains /dev/ad1s1a, etc. cat fstab lists /dev/ad1s1a, /dev/ad1s1b, etc (I don't know what fstab means, and what it is used for though) so fstab thing is okay. In the same post it's recommended to do fsck -y on the /dev/ad1s1a, etc (estimatedly) to check the harddisk (filesystem) contains no errors. I've did it too and it reported no errors.
How can I mount that harddisk?
