Greg Lehey:
Thank you for your help. I went to the last step to mount the
disk, but I get the following message:
# mount /dev/rwd1c /u1
/dev/rwd1c on /u1: Block device required
I do not know how to deal with it, try sevral newfs switches, it still not
work. It could be that I do something wrong? Following is the disklabel(I
edited the disktab put an entry cp120(cornnor 120M IDE for a test)) and
newfs display:
# /dev/rwd1c:
