I've got 386bsd booting off my 340MB IDE Drive here right now, but I
would like to add a second 170MB Disk for /usr/local.
However, I can't figure out how to get a filesystem installed on it. I
tried doing various lisklabel and newfs things, and none of them work,
and I also got to thinking that the install floppy somehow finds out the
relevant information on it's own.
So, question is, how do *I* do this..? I just want to create a file
system on the disk, and mount it (which is the easy part)
I tried removing the 340MB Drive from the system and running install
again, but all It said was that 386bsd had already been installed, do I
wish to overwrite---after saying yes, it just asked again infinitely.
Any ideas?
Toodlepip!
