Setting up FreeBSD 2.0.5 initially was no problem. NOW.... I need to add another hard drive. It is a 500MB IDE interface that should come up as wd0. The system recognizes the device and fdisk *seems* to set up the partition OK (at lease DOS fdisk is able to recognize it) However when I start to label the device, disklabel pitches a fit! I pulled the FAQ on assigning disk space, but the references made to sysinstall don't match the sysinstall utility on my server. Am I missing something ?? I assume I should be referencing device wd1 (where the original HD was wd0) rather that /dev/rwd1a or something like that. If someone could run through the steps for adding a non-bootable storage device, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance! -- Ralph P.
