#2 How to find and mount user partition

[Anonymous]

I have a working disk from a FreeBSD machine. When I
use FFS, I can mount the root (/) partition using the
following FFS settings: FFS Disk - 1, FFS Paritition -
1, Disklabel - 0, Mount Drive - X:\

However, when I look at "/home" (where user home
directories should be) it's empty.

I believe this is because /home is in a different
partition.

How can I find this partition?

I have tried setting FFS Partition to values 1 through
5, and FFS Driver Mount Manager does not complain when
I click on the mount button, but Windows is unable to
read these.

Your help would be appreciated.

I have a similar configuration, and succeeded to access
/home by changing the "Disklabel" number. However, it seems
not possible to mount both / and /home at the same time.

According to my understanding, "FFS partition" means a FDisk
partition (or a slice), and what you call a partition (/ or
/home) corresponds to "Disklabel". As its name indicates,
the disklabel command will help you know the correct
"Disklabel" number.

Change the disklabel until you find which one it is. Mine was Disk 0, Part 4, Disklabel 5.
