Help!
I tried to use sysinstall to partition and label a RAID 1 drive (adaptec,
scsi), and sysinstall would not let me write out the partitions. The
error message was "device not configured". I don't know what to do to
"configure" this drive. The output from newfs and fdisk are given below.
This computer is booting from a third IDE drive, FreeBSD 4.2.
Thanks to anyone who knows
John
