Could someone complete this list of instructions for adding a second IDE
drive to a NetBSD-0.9 system that already has one IDE drive?

1.  Install the second drive, connecting it to the ribbon cable and the
power supply;

2.   Configure the BIOS of the machine (I use AMI) to recognize second
drive;

3.  Somehow tell NetBSD that there is a second drive, format it the way
NEtBSD likes drives to be formatted, and graft it to the file tree.

I need help with number 3. 

Thank you!
