In the FAQ it tells me to use /stand/sysinstall to start the install program, then from there fdisk the drive, which works, then use the label editor to mount the slices where I want them, after doing this I hit 'w' to write changes, and it tells me a few warnings, such as i dont have a / partition, which I shouldn't because this is a second hard disk, also it complains about no /usr partition, etc etc blah blah. Now the next step in the FAQ is to exit and then run newfs /dev/wd1s1, etc to create the filesystem. It then tells me that partition '1' is not available and then it tells me that /dev/wd1sx (where x is 1-4) is not a character-special device. What am I doing wrong or better yet, how can I get this second drive up with 2 swaps and 2 filesystem partitions up? ===========================(Richard A.
