I am totally lose here as to how to add new harddisk. The normal procedure is to look at /etc/disktab, then disklabel and newfs. However, FreeBSD /etc/disktab is strangely lacking a lot of disktab info yet the installation procedure can happily newfs the disk. In addition, it seem there is no way i can 'slice' (??) the disk manually? Any idea anyone? ps: I am running 2.0.5. -James Seng
