I'm trying to add a new drive to my system. The drive is a little unusual
(its from a SUN workstation with a single integrated interface that has an
adapter for the 50pin cables), but I seem to recall having one of the same
drives on another FreeBSD system... The drive probes as:
(ahc0:3:0): "CONNER CFP1060E SUN1.05 245C" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd1(ahc0:3:0): Direct-Access 1010MB (2070400 512 byte sectors)
I've tried adding it with /stand/sysinstall, but all that does is when I
try to 'W'rite the label it gives me a 'newfs: /usr3 Invalid Argument' or
some such (going from memory). So, I go one step lower, I ran dd from
/dev/zero to the drive with a 100 count (and later I did the whole drive,
for the hell of it). Following this I did 'disklabel -Brw sd1 auto' and
then simply 'disklabel -Brw sd1 auto'--per the Handbook Suggestions. ALL
I change in the disklabel is I add a partition for the filesystem, using
the label 'e'. However, when I try to save and quit it gives me the
error:
line 23: bad partition name
(???)
Following the man pages, 'e' is a perfectly valid partition name. I'm
wondering if this has anything to do with the other disklabel information
which say it only has 3 partitions--so I use 'd' instead, and it seems to
work... Saving in disklabel gives the warning:
Warning, unused partition d: size 2070400 offset 0
I'm also not sure if I'm supposed to change the 'type' to SCSI in
disklabel, nor what should go in the 'disk', label and flags fields...
