Hey, if you have a minute, let me know what you think ive done wrong. I added a new drive to a 2.2.8 freebsd box, secondary controller, master. I used the /stand/sysinstall program and went into post install configuration and used their partition manager to create one big partition on the disk, write the changes, then went to the label manager to label the partition /bkup. When i left the program and typed df the system showed all the partitions including the /bkup at the end of the list. great. after i reboot the machine however, when i type df, no /bkup partition is listed separately from the other partitions (those being /, /var, /usr, /home, /proc. however, /bkup can be found under the root, /. looking around for what might be wrong, i found a note in the handbook that if you were adding drives by hand, you had to edit /etc/fstab. so i got all the pertinet drive info, and created a line in /etc/fstab that appeared identical to the other configurations except for the mount point and the name of the partition, wdc1e, or something like that. i rebooted the box remotely and well, it never came back up. when i looked at /etc/fstab on another system, i noticed that its entry for the /bkup partition (which seemed to be completely created by the setup program /stand/sysinstall) was before the cdrom and before /proc. otherwise, there was no difference. there is a device listed in /dev that matches the description of the new drive. I've not had a chance to get to the box, and see if it will let me back in to fix /etc/fstab now or not but i am hopint it will. any ideas? Thanks.
