Now my question is how do I make the whole disk accessible to FreeBSD 2.0.5? Do I need to disklabel it in some way? Preferable without destroying ANY data on the disk, that is creating just an in-core disklabel if that's possible or necessary. Or is /dev/sdX[cd] supposed to work without a disklabel? Any hints welcome, -Toni
