Hi, This is a repeat of my previous message which remains unanswered: I have a 486DX2-80 (16 Meg) running 2.0 SNAP 950213 (or thereabouts). It has a 2 Meg caching IDE controller and (currently) on 540 meg conner driver. I am trying to add a second drive, being an 850Mb Conner CFA850A. If I use sysinstall to add the drive, it works fine (FDISK/DISKLABEL/MOUNTPOINTS) until I select (P)roceed. Then it just halts. At this point it has added the partition table and disklabel. If I run newfs on it, that also works, fsck does too. I am then able to mount the drive. However, if I then umount the drive and reboot, the fsck fails with "BAD MAGIC NUMBER", and the drive is effectively trashed. The fault does not lie with the drive since I was able to install FreeBSD with no problem onto the drive with the drive in a machine by itself. Please, I would appreciate a few suggestions...
