If not, then go into the /stand/sysinstall program, and then go to the index section. Then go to the partition section and create a partition for FreeBSD. Write and Quit. Then back to the index. Go to the label section. Create a file system and give it a mount point. It is a good idea to create the mount point directory before doing this. Write, which will do the newfs and mount it, and Quit, and exit all the way out. You will probably have to edit /etc/fstab to add an entry for the auto mount and fsck on boot for the disk. There is a man page for fstab and mount to help you with this. Use the handbook to get more information about setting up new disks for an existing installation. -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088
