First of all my system recognize 2 harddisks, wd0 and wd2 (No CDROM
attached, both harddisks are connected as master).
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC AC22000L>
wd0: 1907MB (3907008 sectors), 3876 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <WDC AC24300L>
wd2: 4112MB (8421840 sectors), 8912 cyls, 15 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
Then I go to disk partition editor and generate 2 partitions of size
2000M.
They are wd2s1 and wd2s2.
Disk name: wd2 FDISK Partition

Then I write these changes and go to the disk label editor.
I see two disks named wd2 with partition names wd2s1 and wd2s2. Then I
create to file systems
FreeBSD Disklabel Editor
Disk: wd2 Partition name: wd2s1 Free: 0 blocks (0MB)

wd2s2e /usr/WinHome 1992MB UFS Y
When I choose write these changes, I got error
messages.
Message

So, what do you think ? In which step I am doing something wrong ?
