I just added a disk, here's where I did

/stand/sysinstall
Fdisk option, create a partion, write it out, quit back to post install menu
Label option, Create, FS, mount point, write, done
quit out of sysinstall
mount it wherever and add it to /etc/fstab for mount after reboot

'non-dedicate'. Either way when I reach the point of issuing the following
command:

times and I even did a low level format.

> 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.
