Is there an easy way of getting disk geometries for adding a second disk
to 386bsd (as the initial install program obviously does as there is no
/etc/disktab entry for my first drive)..

I have a Conner 210Mb disk as the master and a small 40Mb Seagate which
I hope to use for some swap and a bit of spare disk...

BTW - can someone also describe how to install swap in some detail..

Especially if my swap is on the second disk..

Thanks

Ken
