  Hello people,

  I'm about to add a second 1.0GB SCSI drive to my v2.0.5 
  box.  I havent got enough room to upgrade, and am otherwise
  beginning to feel a bit squeezed.

  Installing the drive physically shouldn't be a problem 
  because a PC guru will help me here.  I'm wondering
  how hard it will be to configure the drive.  Can anybody
  give me fairly explicit instructions?  

  How do I format the drive? How do I divide it into, say,
  four filesystems? or three filesystems?  (Is there a 
  tool that figures out how many bytes are available after
  formatting and will let me divvy up the drive??)

  A friend who uses NetBSD says that I've got to do the 
  calculations by hand, which shouldn't be any major deal.
  But it'd be nicer is somebody put together a tool.

  Thanks in advance....

  gary kline

  PS: Never did I imagine that a gig of disk would be 
  insufficient... !
