I am running FreeBSD 2.1 and am having difficulty installing
a new hard drive. When I try and run newfs on sd1 it gives
me two messages:
1) not a character-special device
2) `1' partition is unavailable
Now correct me if I am wrong but this drive does not need
to be a character device anyway, instead it should be a
block device; right?
What is the basic and simplest procedure for putting a new
hard drive into service?
