X-URL: http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-doc@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk There must be a straight forward procedure for fdisk, disklabel and newsfs to add additional disks to an existing system. I just can't seem to figure it out. /etc/disktab does'nt have my existing boot drive there yet freeBSD knows how to use it -- so I'm disinclined to believe those that say I must concoct an /etc/disktab entry for my new disk. Both disks, the existing boot drive and the new one, are Connor 1 gig SCSI drives hanging off of an Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller. Please shed some light on this for me! The freeBSD Docs CD does'nt seem to have this covered, nor is it in the FAQ, nor in the Handbook - nowhere that I've found! Regards, Ian ian@gamespot.com
