I'm attempting to install a second SCSI hard drive to my system (a Dell P133, 32megs). The new drive is a Quantum L912. All I want is a single slice that consumes the entire drive. I've been wrestling with this problem for awhile now. I've stepped through the procedure as laid-out in the FreeBSD FAQ (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ37.html#37), and when I go to install the new filesystem on the drive (newfs /dev/rsd1s1) it craps out on me, complaining about "newfs: /dev/rsd1s1: `1' partition is unavailable". Mind you, I've tried everything I know to get something on partition one, short of blood sacrifice. And I'm a bit bummed that I haven't been able to find a fixed version of "sysinstall" on the FreeBSD Web site (but maybe I'm stupid?) Anyway, any pointers you could send my way would be swell.
