Hi Michael,


I got a new 1.2GB drive working and wanted to add it to my system, replcing
one of the 213MB hard drives.   This is sd3.  My problem is, I can't get
disklabel to work.  I don't know what it's wants as the 'disktype'.  I've
tried the obvious, ufs, scsi, /usr/mdec/sdboot, sdboot.  What does it want?
This is also a section in the Handbook that has yet been documented.

I've fdisked the drive, but I can label it and I still need to partition it.
What are the steps that I need to take to add a SCSI hard drive?.  BSDI has
disksetup which does all this through a menuing propgram.

Thanks,
Mark
