Please forgive my ignorance, but I must be missing something. I am
trying to install a new SCSI disk on FREEBSD (2.0). The controller is an
Ultrastor 24F.
There is already a sd0 and an sd2, I am trying to install a 4Gb SCSI
disk as sd1. On boot up the driver finds sd1 just fine. However when I try
to look at the disk in anyway, like with fdisk or disklabel, I get a
"Device not configured" message. The disk already has a 2Gb DOS FAT partition
on it, although I want to scratch the whole thing and make it a FREEBSD-only
disk.
So what am I missing, step-wise. Shouldn't fdisk be able to get at
the disk ?
BTW, in FREEBSD, do I need to divide up the disk into 2 2Gb partitions ?
I assume so.
Thanks.
Cheers,
