Hi,
I am trying to put a new disk on my system. I read the description of
the process in FreeBSD Unleashed and apparently I misunderstood it,
because I ended up installing a boot manager on the new disk. Now I can
not mount it - I get error messages like:
# mount /dev/ad1e /mnt/backup
operation not permitted
How do I 'start over'? I have tried to add this disk many times with
/stand/sysinstall. Eventually I gave up and went to the command line
utilities as outlined in the handbook. The error I got was interesting,
but I have no idea what it means:
# fdisk -BI ad1
******* Working on device /dev/ad1 *******
fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
