Help! 

I tried to use sysinstall to partition and label a RAID 1 drive (adaptec,
scsi), and sysinstall would not let me write out the partitions.  The
error message was "device not configured".  I don't know what to do to
"configure" this drive.  The output from newfs and fdisk are given below.  
This computer is booting from a third IDE drive, FreeBSD 4.2.

Thanks to anyone who knows

John
