I have a feeling this is 'unsupported' to say the least, but after mucking around with fdisk and disklabel, and still getting errors from newfs, I wound up doing <change to console 0> login as root cd /stand ./sysinstall now do "partition" (or whatever the first selection is) After defining everything on the right disk, hit "w" to go into wizard mode. From here, do "write". Then repeat with "label" (or whatever the second selection is). Exit, and newfs No warranties, but this worked for me when adding the 4th SCSI disk. -Terje ____________________________________________________________________ Terje Thoegersen, Systems Consultant | terje.thogersen@hda.hydro.com Norsk Hydro a.s, Hydro Data | Tel : +47 2273 9298 P.O.Box 200, | Fax : +47 2273 9614 1321 Stabekk, Norway | Pager : 966 32801 --------------------------------------------------------------------
