To: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Date: Mon, 4 Sep 1995 16:36:35 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 735 Sender: bugs-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk FreeBSD 2.1.0-950726-SNAP How the heck do you add new disks? fdisk complains it can't get the disk parameters from any of the /dev devices and sysinstall isn't writing out partition information even when you say "yes, dammit, I really want to write it out now and not later". I'd really like to see the partition and label parts of sysinstall pulled out into an "newdisk" utility (although it should support more than the 4 devices that sysinstall sees). -- Alan Batie ______ batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / Freedom for me to be and do +1 503 452-0960 \ / only what *you* approve of 45 28 59 N / 122 43 20 W / 440' MSL \/ is no freedom at all.
