Hi. Another newbie faq type question...how do I format a disk. I'm
installing a second drive (scsi) to go along with my ide drive. I set up the
disktab for the drive, and i am trying to run disklabel on it. Unfortunately,
when I do disklabel -w -r sd0 LXT213S
It says disk label does not leave room for bootstrap. What does that mean?
and how do i fix it. The other thing is that when I did a man newfs, it gives
the info and says look at other files format(8). There is no format command..
what's the deal? Will newfs format my drive for me?
Thanx..alex..
