Hi

Before you just stopp reading with the thought 'duh, this question is for
freebsd-newbie' please read it becouse i've asked it both at newbie and
questions and haven't got any sullotion.

What I'm trying to do is to simply add a new ide drive with only freebsd to
get some more space and i can't do it. Fdisk doesn't seems to write the info
to the drive. I've used it before so i know there's no problem with the drive
itself, tried both fat32 and ext2fs and that works just fine. The kernel finds
the drive:
ad3: 6187MB <FUJITSU MPB3064ATU> [13410/15/63] at ata1-slave UDMA33

I've tried all the suggestions on
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/disks-adding.html without any result. I've
attached an output from script when i try it.
