Hello. After several unsuccessful attempts to add a new hard drive with /stand/sysinstall, I gave up the idea and tried to add it in the traditional unix way. That is, running fdisk, modifying /etc/disktab, then running disklabel and newfs. It turned out to be a complete success. Many thanks to Greg Lehey for his nice book. My advice: do not use /stand/sysinstall when you can avoid it. Frankly, I do not know a maintenance task that could not be accomplished without using sysinstall. Perhaps you can give me an example? Addind/deleting packages, setting time zone, adding parts of the source tree - all that is easily done without sysinstall. -- Victor Sudakov http://www.tomsk.su/r/persons/vas.htm
