Does anyone has any idea how disklabel, newfs works in FreeBSD?
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.
