and one hears the sound of a slap on the forehead......
DOH!

I'd newfs'd /dev/mirror/md0 and then dumped / to this, BEFORE i'd changed the fstab to point to /dev/mirror/md0....

When the machine booted and picked up the fstab from /dev/da0a, it was pointing / at /dev/da1a, from which is read /etc/fstab for all the other mounts, which then mounted as expected....


Talk about muppetry...

I now have...


/dev/mirror/md0 on / (ufs, local, soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/mirror/md2 on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mirror/md3 on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mirror/md4 on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mirror/md5 on /data (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

Precisely what I'd expected...

Thanks for all your help ;-)

Cheers
AM
