I had expected that the new disk would go in as da1-something, because from my dmesg, this is what I got from dmesg. Now my concern: All the methods outlined in handbook/disks-adding.html could not work for me. Well I went via /stand/sysinstall about 5 times and just could not get things going....I created the partition (fully dedicated), labelled and got da1s1e and specified the mount point but the thing wouldn't hear of newfs!! So what did I do? newfs _ARGS_ /dev/rda1s1c My question: why would it not accept /dev/da1s1e ???? Why does it have to be rda1s1c?? If someone can enlighten me...I have nothing on that disk so I can go over the process again just to be conversant with this chapter..
