I added a second hard drive to my system on a separate ide channel and recompiled the kernel so that device ata1 was enabled. (v4.1) I then tried to issue the command: dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad1 ba=1024 I received the following error message: dd: /dev/ad1: Device not configured There are entries for ad1,ad1a, ad1b, etc. in the /dev directory. However, there are no entries in /etc/fstab for ad1, etc. My objective is simply to clone the original drive on ide0 to the drive on ide1 and then use the cloned drive in an identical system instead of having to build the o/s on hte system. What do I need to do configure the new drive so that FreeBSD sees it so that I can use the dd command?
