Summary: I want to add a second disk to my FreeBSD box.
Hi, I have installed FreeBSD on my box and I have 2 drives. FreeBSD
is on drive 1 and I want to add disk space on disk 2. Disk 2 has 1 samll
DOS partition and a big partittion I want to use for FreeBSD. I can't find
anything in the handbook on adding new drives. I tried the man pages for
fdisk, disklabel and disktab, but I found them rather confusing. There
does not seem to be an entry in my /etc/disktab file that matches even the
current disk setup. Can anyone help me set this up, please ?
Thanks in advance.
Dirk
