I'm having the devil of a time getting it added to the system. When I go the /stand/sysinstall route, I get the following errors from DiskLabel when I write the changes: Unable to add /dev/wd2s1b as a swap device: Invalid Argument Error mounting /dev/wd2s1e on /u2: Invalid Argument I also tried the diskformat method from the tutorial section of the web page. Here are the results: gateway# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd2 count=2 wd2s1: type 0xb, start 63, end = 6314111, size 6314049 : OK 2+0 records in 2+0 records out 1024 bytes transferred in 0.000845 secs (1211898 bytes/sec) gateway# disklabel /dev/rwd2 | disklabel -B -R -r wd2 /dev/stdin wd2s1: type 0xb, start 63, end = 6314111, size 6314049 : OK disklabel: ioctl DIOCSDINFO: No space left on device I want the entire disk for FreeBSD so its a dedicate mode. Specs on the HD are: Cylinders: 6,696 Heads: 15 Sectors: 63 Capacity: 3,240 MB Ultra DMA. Any suggestions? Thanks!
