[some people have been > reporting problems having their ad0 devices detected during the install.] You don't need to buy another whole system if you can put another hard drive in there. I had an extra 2GB free as wd0s3, so I did my 4.0-CURRENT install there on wd0s3[a-e]. This saved me when I later forgot to run single-user for installworld of the "3.3-STABLE" to "4.0-CURRENT" upgrade on the regular wd0s1 partition -- I was able to boot to the new system partition, mount the old filesystems under /mnt, and do another "make installworld" with DESTDIR=/mnt.
