Well, for your designated usage of the disk, take the easy way
(assumed ad6 to be the new disk, check "dmesg | grep ^ad"):

	# mkdir /exchange
	# newfs /dev/ad6
	# mount -t ufs /dev/ad6 /exchange

Pay attention to the access rights of /exchange. Put a line into
/etc/fstab to automount the disk at startup.

Yes, it is that easy. :-)
