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.
