Hello.  I am running 2.0.5 on a system with two IDE drives.  The
master is DOS, the slave is FreeBSD.  I recently added a SCSI card
(Adaptec AVA-2825VL) and a 1 Gig SCSI drive (Seagate ST51080N).  Using
the Adaptec utility, I partitioned the drive into a 200Meg (25
cylinders) DOS logical drive, and the remainder unspecified.  I would
like to be able to mount the remainder, newfs it and make it my new
/usr partition.  How do I begin?  The disk seems to be recognized at
boot as sd0, and the device driver that sees it is aic (irq 11, port
0x340). 

Yell if I need to be more specific.

Thanks.
