This first disk is disk0. I've installed a second 3GB scsi disk as disk1. I've used sysinstall to setup the new disk by partitioning it and then trying to label it. I've tried this in about 12 different ways. Large partitions, small partitions, disks compatible with other operating systems, disk just for freebsd and all of them dump core when I try to write the label. Are there any memory restrictions/limitations/recomenadations of how much memory I should have with this configuration. Any thoughts or help on this setup would be appreciated. Pat
