well...  I reciently upgraded my machine and put in a VL/Bus controler in the 
machine and at first just added a 40meg ide drive to the second channel...  then 
I decided to add another drive to the second channel and now I can't disklabel 
it... the first drive I had no problems disklabeling... here is a little bit 
about my machine:

486/33DX 8megs RAM, VL/Bus motherboard
130meg and 40meg on wdc0 (standard)
40meg and 85meg on wdc1 (standard)
two NE2000 clone cards, one BNC, other UTP
AST VGA card (NOTE: machine is not an AST, but hand put together)

this is the results of the boot up for wdc1:

Jan  1 15:17:48 unix kernel: wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
Jan  1 15:17:48 unix kernel: wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <Conner Peripherals 40MB - CP
Jan  1 15:17:48 unix kernel: wd2: 41MB (84240 total sec), 1053 cyl, 2 head, 40
Jan  1 15:17:49 unix kernel: wdc1: unit 1 (wd3): <st3096AT>
Jan  1 15:17:49 unix kernel: wd3: 85MB (174080 total sec), 1024 cyl, 10 head, 

I have managed to mount this when I had a dos partition... and still can as I 
have not been able to disklabel the drive... this is what it returns:

disklabel: /dev/rwd3c: No such file or directory

I have run /dev/MAKEDEV wd3, also... I have check to make sure that it does 
indead exist... and here is the ls -l entry for it:

crw-r-----  1 root  operator    3,  26 Jan  1 15:31 /dev/rwd3c

this is exactly like the other rwdXc entries execpt the minor version number is 
less on the others...  

also... incase you need it... this is the disktab entry that I am trying to 
write to it:

st3089at|Seagate 85MB IDE:\
        :dt=IDE:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#10:ns#17:nc#1024:\
        :pe#78200:oe#170:\
        :pf#95710:of#78370:\
        :pc#173910:oc#170:\
        :pd#174080:od#0:                 

I hope I can get this problem soveled... thanks for the help...
