I am having trouble preparing a 2.2 gig SCSI drive for use on my
FreeBSD 2.1 system. I would like someone to briefly outline the steps
needed to prepare a new hard drive from begining to end. If someone
could just list the commands and parameters to use, It would be
greatly appreciated. I can fill in specifics like disk geometry.
Fdisk appears to do it's job but newfs keeps telling me two things:
1) sd1 is not a character-special device
2) `1' partition not available
As far as I know the drive does not NEED to be a character device
anyway so I am a little lost. I sent mail saturday, and again on
monday, and I need some kind of brief assistance soon.
Thank you again.
