I am trying to install another 2 GB SCSI drive to the system, a Quantum model VP32210, and I am having problems with it. The parameter of the drive reported by the system is: cylinders= 4243, head = 8, sectors = 255 and the total sectors = 4276943. Here's an extract from a Usenet posting by Bill Paul a few months ago (disclaimer: I haven't tried this myself):- <QUOTE> All you have to do is this: - Run sysinstall (as root, monkey boy). - Go to the partition table editor. - Select the drive you want to use. - Partition it as you please. - When you've got it set up the way you like it, press 'w' to get into wizard mode. - At the wizard mode prompt, type 'write.' The sysinstall program should write the new partition table to the disk. - Type 'quit' to leave wizard mode. - Exit the partition editor. - Go to the disklabel editor. - Set up the label as you please. - Type 'w' to get into wizard mode again. - Type 'write' to write the label. - Quit out of wizard mode. - Quit the label editor. - Quit sysinstall. All you have to do now is newfs the partitions you've just created and add them to /etc/fstab. This part is simple enough that you don't need sysinstall to do it. </QUOTE> 2.1.0 users should note that the wizard mode has now been incorporated into the user interface (it was an undocumented option in 2.0.5).
