Hey!

I have a very odd problem, i cant get my harddrive which i before used
with OpenBSD to mount on my new NetBSD installation, I'm running
NetBSD-2-0_RC4 and i've tried with 1.6.2 also.

disklabel shows my harddrive and the partition i have on it.
(disklabel /dev/wd0)

16 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 a: 156368016         0     4.2BSD   2048 16384   328  # (Cyl.      0 - 155126)
 c: 156368016         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 - 155126)

and when i try and mount i cant enter the mount point, i get this:

# mount /dev/wd0d /mnt
# cd /mnt
cd: /mnt: Not a directory
# 

when i do a 'ls' in / i see the /mnt dir, but when i do a 'ls -al' its
gone, its not there...
and when i check df it says it is mounted.

/dev/wd0d      73G     2.0K       70G     0%    /mnt

I'm sure that the partition (slice?) is 'd', i used 'd' under OpenBSD,
wierd that disklabel only shows 'a' and 'b'.
One thing that worries me is that it shows my drive as empty, i have
alot of important data on it.

Any kind soul that could spread some light on this ?
