Make sure that you have built a kernel with wd1 included as swap, so that the 2nd harddisk gets initialized. You don't need a swap on wd1, but you need the kernel to "kick" the drive. Also, I found that the entries in the /etc/fstab are important. I have not got my machine near me so I can not check, but something like the following: /dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0e /usr ufs rw 1 2 /dev/wd1a /home ufs rw 1 2 /dev/wd1e /u ufs rw 1 2 -- Andre B.
