Hi there ppl, > > Hi guys, > > I'd like to know how to add a new SCSI disk to my FreeBSD 2.0 .....

Do not ask system to modify boot sector . - Tell the system the mountpoints for the partitions on the first HD. - partition second HD in the way you want and disklabel it - choose FTP install,some _nonexisting site to grab distrib from , say ftp://qpwoeiru, and do and COMMIT System will partition _only second HD for you, disklabel it and write down new fstab into /etc/fstab and will fail trying to find bogus ftp site to grab install from. - quit the install That simple :))) It'll take 10 minutes ... probably Rashid
