Got sick trying to add SCSI disk to existing FreeBSD system  -
sysinstall is driving me crasy when I click Disklabel/sd1 - it still
bringing me existing sd0 drive with stupid message:"you have to partition
disk before using it". It's partitioned, it works, I dont want to touch sd0,
I need my sd1 disklabeled!

Tried to use disklabel utility - the interface of disklabel has no right
to be called "interface". It's just a vi session of god knows what.

Does anybody know how to disklabel new SCSI disk and add it to the system
without such pain??!!?

When at last sysinstall will be smarter and disklabel more friendly?

Sam.
