I have just install a new SCSI drive, it is drive da1. I read the handbook and tried to format it in 'Dedicate' mode and 'non-dedicate'. Either way when I reach the point of issuing the following command: newfs -d0 /dev/rda1e I get the error that 'e' partition is unavailble. I have tried this a few times and I even did a low level format. Here may complete attempt. dd if=/dev/zero of /dev/rda1 bs=1k count=1 disklabel -Brw da1 auto disklable -e da1 # I didn't edit just :q out of vi newfs -d0 /dev/rda1e then the error.... What can I do or did I do wrong. I also tried to use /stand/sysinstall and the same thing happens.
