Greetings, I have two ST-43400N SCSI drives that I need to add to my system. I have partitioned the disks but I don't know how to label them. I want each disk to have 32M swap and 2745M of freebsd space. I've tried /stand/sysinstall's disk label editor but I can't tell if it's working. It complains that I haven't selected a "/" filesystem when I try to write the config. My root is on another drive so I don't want to mess with it. I have been able to label and make a filesystem on the drives as long as I don't define a swap space. Any attempt to "swapon" results in a file not found message. Does the swap space need some kind of formatting? I have not been able to find any documentation on how to add swap and disk to a system so I don't even know if /stand/sysinstall is the right tool. Please, if anyone can tell me how to add disk properly or at least point me to some literature I'd be grateful. I'd hate to have to go back to Linux simply because it has the necessary instructions :-( Thanks, Craig =================================================================== Shrimpton Consulting Orbit Systems Craig Shrimpton Email: craigs@os.com 17 Monroe Avenue Phone: (508) 753-8776 Worcester, MA 01602 http://www.os.com/
