well, the complete story is:
1. i had 3.4 on the compaq which had the old ida driver (stealing the wd
name).
2. i followed the UPDATING procedure to move to 4.1 - with no problem (just
had to change the fstab to use the new idad device name).
3. later on i added couple of disks and used the ACU to create another
logical drive (idad1)
4. i tried to use /stand/sysinstall to fdisk/disklabel it, but it did not
recognize any of the idad devices, so i went ahead and fixed sysinstall.
maybe the sysinstall under /stand is different from the one on the
installation media??!
have you used sysinstall on your system?
