I have recently added a NCR scsi card (NCR0) and have a Seagate Baracudda 4.3 GIG SCSI drive atached to it (sd0) I have been tring to newfs this drive for some time. I don't want it bootable, I just want one partition. I have tried all the disk label commands and fdisk commands suggested in the FreeBSD FAQ section: "3.13. I'm having lots of trouble trying to disklabel a new SCSI drive.", and I still can't get it to newfs. Anybody have any clues? Is it possible to use the boot disk's partition and and newfs utility, without having it make the new drive the boot drive? Please respond via email. Thanks in advance, Randy randy@spsp.com
