I'm trying to add a new drive to my computer with no luck at all. I read http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/disks-adding.html and thought it looked really easy. I followed all it said in the guide using sysinstall and got error messages saying 'Error mounting /dev/ad1s1a on / : Device not configured' but didn't worry since the guide said there would be error messages when writing the label. But when i exit there's no info left. I've tried booting slackware and using cfdisk to make a bsd partition of it and it seemed to stay but when i boot up my freebsd there's no table left. I've tried doing it manualy with same result. jmo# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rad1 bs=1k count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1024 bytes transferred in 0.000889 secs (1151775 bytes/sec) jmo# fdisk -BI ad1 ******* Working on device /dev/ad1 ******* fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found dmesg: ad0: 19092MB <ST320413A> [38792/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 ad1: 6187MB <FUJITSU MPB3064ATU> [13410/15/63] at ata0-slave UDMA33 fdisk output: jmo# fdisk ad1 ******* Working on device /dev/ad1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=13410 heads=15 sectors/track=63 (945 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=13410 heads=15 sectors/track=63 (945 blks/cyl) fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 12672387 (6187 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 97/ sector 63/ head 14 Anyone got a clue? I've tried searching archives, asked friends and i asked it on the newbie list so i hope im not being redundant... /jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
