I'll try not to flame, no promises though.) *Why* the hell is adding a 2nd disk to a currently running OS Guru level lore? It should be a turnkey operation like it is on other UNIX. Searching the archives and the docs produces *no* useful information, other than the fact that this is a FAQ and no one seems to answer it. Yet the sysinstall program knows how to do it. Is that magic code repackagable somewhere as "installdisk" or something? Oh, and using the current sysinstall program only succeeded in removing all the device nodes on my current partition. So to summarize: WHY ISN'T THIS EASIER and WHAT CAN SOMEONE DO TO MAKE IT EASIER.
