I wanted it just to add to the general capacity and hoped it would be just intigrated, but the system seemed to think that it was a new installation process that needed a new bootsector as well(when I left the sysinstall it couldn`t find any commands and through inexperience I had to just switch off which I dislike to have to do. Both discs should (Ihope) form a single entity of disk space, which I thought would happen automatically, because of the description that bsd is not like linux where one makes a series of partitions etc var usr home, and so on. >How-To-Repeat: One could just do what I descraibed above but I don`t think it is necessary, it`s a beginners problem. >Fix: I`d like advice on the best way to deal with a situation like this and maybe an answer to the problem of finding out how much space is available. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
