I added a second drive to my system using one of the patches posted on the net
(someone in Norway). During bootup the driver detects correctly that I have
0: <WDC 2120> 1:<MAXTOR 7120>.

I'm now a bit anxious of making about making a filesystem on it. When I do a disklabel -r wd0 I get:

 # /dev/rwd0d:
type: ESDI
disk: ESDI/IDE
label:              
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 35
tracks/cylinder: 8
sectors/cylinder: 280
cylinders: 872
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0		# milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0	# milliseconds
drivedata: 0 

3 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  a:   233240        0    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16 	# (Cyl.    0 - 832)
  b:    10000   233380    unused        0     0       	# (Cyl.  833*- 869*)
  c:   243880        0    unused        0     0       	# (Cyl.    0 - 870)

I would have expected that I get a second drive named wd1 or the like. What 
confuses me is the fact that I see a partition c:. Is this partition the new disk or is it just the disk0 seen as a whole.

Also, how would I have to proceed when I wanted to build a filesystem on that
second disk?
