Do you want MS-DOS-style slices on it? Do you want to partiton it at all? Assuming it will be a dangerously dedicated disk with one partition and the disk has been used before, this should be the minimum to put a filesystem on it, # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rda0 count=32 # disklabel -w -r da0 auto # disklabel -e -r da0 At this point, you get an interactive session with your favorite editor. At the bottom you should have something like, 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 1065912 0 unused 0 0 Add a line like, h: 1065912 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 And exit the editor normally. Now, # newfs /dev/rda0h To have this filesystem mounted automatically at startup, something like the following to /etc/fstab, /dev/da0h /mountpoint ufs rw 0 3 To mount it right now, # mount /dev/da0h /mountpoint -- Crist J.
