I've read the documentation 10.5. Adding Disks in the handbook and it references drives as /dev/da1 etc. This machine has five ULTRA2 SCSI drives. I expected fdisk to see five 9.1 gig SCSI drives like /dev/da1 /dev/da2 /dev/da3 etc. Instead, I came up with two logical drives called /dev/idad0s1 (which I partitioned into swap and /) makeing it /dev/idad0s1b and a. The other drive showed up as idad1s1e (17343MB) which I made /disk2. Now, I don't understand how I got this configuration as I wanted each disk to be mounted as a seperate mount point as a dedicated bsd drive. At this point I don't know if this has to do with the compaq BIOS or smart array controller or the freeBSD setup itself. If anyone could be of help, I'd much appriciate it!
