        Section 12.9.2 of the FreeBSD Handbook states the following:

...
I need to add a new "e" partition for ccd(4) to use. This can be a copy of the "c" partition. Once I was done, my disklabel should look like this:

  8 partitions:
  #        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  c: 60074784        0    unused        0     0     0   # (Cyl.    0 - 59597)
  e: 60074784        0    unused        0     0     0   # (Cyl.    0 - 59597)
...

        This is incorrect.  The filesystem type for 'e' is not 4.2BSD;
        the ccdconfig(8) applied later will fail.  It should state:

  c: 60074784        0    unused        0     0     0   # (Cyl.    0 - 59597)
  e: 60074784        0    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.    0 - 59597)



        Section 12.9.3 states the following:

...
The final arguments to ccdconfig are the devices to place into the array. Putting it all together I get this command:

  ccdconfig ccd0 32 0 /dev/ad1c /dev/ad2c /dev/ad3c
...

        This is also incorrect.  The label entries used should not be type
        'c', but rather type 'e' (hence the instructions in 12.9.2!).
        This should therefore be:

  ccdconfig ccd0 32 0 /dev/ad1e /dev/ad2e /dev/ad3e



        Thanks.
