|  Hi,
| 
|  I am about to add a second hard drive to my FreeBSD machine... and I was
|  hoping someone could give me some basic command instructions on what all I
|  need to do in order to have the drive be recognized and partitioned...

Sysinstall can do that for you (/stand/sysinstall)


| 
|  I will need to edit the new info into /etc/fstab in order to have this
|  drive loaded from boot correct?


Yes.

|  During my original installation, I only specified 1 hd driver, ... is there
|  anything special I need to do in order to be able to add another one in?
|  (like kernel re-config etc?)


As long as the BIOS detects the disk, no.
