The new drive is IDE, the 4Gb drive is SCSI..
So to disklabel the new drive disconnect all other drives from the 
system, boot from the install floppy, and partition/disklabel, then 
reinstall drives and reboot. Then add the proper mount entry into the 
fstab??

I am finding that the alt groups are accounting for about 70% of the 
feed, therefore I will have to leave the alt groups on the 4Gb SCSI, but I
could put the other groups on the new drive.. I do plan on upgrading ALL of
the drives on the system to SCSI in the next month or so, but I have to make 
do with what I already have until then. :-<
