The problem is I can't get disklabel to recognize the drive. I'm in a catch-22. I need to run newfs to format(?) the drive but it won't do it because it doesn't have a disklabel. Where do I begin? Disklabel gets me: #disklabel -r -w wd2 auto disklabel: /dev/rwd2c: Undefined error: 0 The sysinstall seems to prep the drive perfectly, however it only preps the already installed system. I need to know the command-line operations to appropriately configure the new drive. Can you describe the steps I need to take and what commands I need to use?
