Hello,
> I have a 4gig HD that I would like to install as a second drive how do I go
> about doing this?
The easy way to do this is to use the "/stand/sysinstall" program
Here's some steps:
1) /stand/sysinstall // run as root
2) Sysinstall Main Menu
=> select configure
3) fdisk // careful to choose the new drive
// first ide drive will be ad0, next is ad1...
4) choose "c" to create a slice (partition)
....or...
choose "a" to select entire drive
5) "W" // commit the changes
6) Install Boot Manager for drive ad0? (Menu)
select "None"
7) FreeBSD Configuration Menu
select "Label"
8) pick the correct hard disk
at the top it will say
"Disk: ad0 Partition name: ad0s1 Free: ..."
^^^
again, make sure this is the correct drive
9) type "c" to create the new partition
10) type "m" to give it a mount point
ie /home, or /web or /mail ...
11) type "w" to write/commit
and violin err.. cello? you're done ;)
You're welcome in advance ;)
