I read http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/disks-adding.html and thought it looked really easy. I followed all it said in the guide using sysinstall and got errormessages saying 'Error mounting /dev/ad1s1a on / : Device not configured' but didn't worry since the guide said there would be error messages when writing the label. But when i exit there's no info left. I've tried booting slackware and using cfdisk to make a bsd partition of it and it seemed to stay but when i boot up my freebsd there's no table left. I've tried doing it manualy with same result. jmo# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rad1 bs=1k count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1024 bytes transferred in 0.000889 secs (1151775 bytes/sec) jmo# fdisk -BI ad1 ******* Working on device /dev/ad1 ******* fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found dmesg: ad0: 19092MB [38792/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 ad1: 6187MB [13410/15/63] at ata0-slave UDMA33 Anyone got a clue? /jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
