(if you are adding an IDE drive substitute wd for da)". It should mention that in 4.0 the device name for ATA drives will be 'ad-', e.g. 'ad0'. >How-To-Repeat: Refer to web page at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/disk-adding.html >Fix: How about this wording: "Continuing with our example, the newly added drive will be da1 and we want to mount it on /1 (if you are adding an IDE drive it will be wd1 in pre-4.0 systems, or ad1 in most 4.x systems)." Note I also moved the period to the end of the sentence. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
