whenever i install freebsd, it sets up my disk with slices named ad0s1a, ad0s1e and so on. when i go to add a second disk drive, i use /stand/sysinstall to fdisk it and then i newfs it from the shell. invariably the device name format is ad1c, ie: it's missing the s0 stuff. what is the difference? does it matter? -jsd- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
