upgrade-from-6.2). You might need a Freesbie (or
something) live cd. of the 3 liveCD's I have, only
one would grant permissions to change the fstab IIRC
im pretty sure that all of these problems are the same thing. if the drives were being referenced as /ad* instead of /da* then the installer should be able to discover them. given that the fixit function couldn't discover the cd drive i don't think that it is mislabeling of the drives. ill try to download a copy of freesbie and see if i can boot of of it and get a dmsg. is the latest version based on the 6.3 or 7.0 codebase?

EDIT: i just checked and freesbie is based on the 6.2 codebase so booting up into it would not provide any valid information since i know that 6.2 works already.
