I installed an extra hard drive today, following the instructions in the
FreeBSD Handbook. All went well, and using sysinstall I put one single
partition/slice on this extra drive, ad1. I didn't mount it, but since I
didn't get any errors I figured everything had gone well and rebooted.

Now, after reboot, I can't access the drive. Not with fdisk, sysinstall
nor disklabel. I get these messages, no matter what I try:


#disklabel ad1

ad1: HARD READ ERROR blk# 0 status=59 error=04
ad1: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0
disklabel: /dev/ad1c: Input/output error


I have tried to redo the installation, using both sysinstall and dd, but
I am met with the same messages, no matter what I try.

My system:
Blue Lightning 486-DX66
FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE
The new hard drive is: Fujitsu MPB3021AT

What should I do now? I would be very happy if someone could help me.

Jesper
