OK, here is some updated information. What I am doing is adding a second hard drive to an exsiting system. I have tried to step by step follow http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/FAQ39.html#39 I can seem to fdisk from sysinstall just fine. Then I try to do the label editor Disk: wd1 Partition name: wd1s1 Free: 0 blocks (0MB) Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- wd1s1e /pca 1024MB UFS Y wd1s1b <none> 64MB SWAP wd1s1f /scr 927MB UFS Y and I am trying to use the whole 2gig drive and I create a 1024M and I say to mount it at /pca, then I create a 64M and I make that swap, then I create 927M and mount it /src. When I try to write I get an error, Unable to add /dev/wd1s1b as a swap device: device not configured I say OK to that and then I get Error mounting /mnt/dev/wd1s1e on /mnt/pca : No such file or directory When I say OK to that one I get Error mounting /mnt/dev/wd1s1f on /mnt/scr :No such file or directory If I give up on life being easy and I try to do a manual disk label, I get the following. # disklabel -r /dev/rwd1s1 # /dev/rwd1s1: type: ESDI disk: wd1s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 256 sectors/unit: 4127760 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 4127760 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 256*) # This does not look right to me. No e: or f: and no swap. Any advice would be appreciated here. --ja John Abbott jabbott@wolf.co.net
