Hi. Me again.  I read here something about requiring a patched kernel to use a
second disk.  Lucky for me, in my rebellion of youth, I tried it anyway. It
worked perfectly.  I even figured out how to use disklabel (write me for
details if anyone wants to know).  I disklabelled it, newfs-ed, and put it in
my /etc/fstab.  works great.  It should be noted that it is a SCSI drive, but
driven by the BIOS.

I'm confused -- what's the two-disk patch for?
