I am at a loss. I have been working with 2.0.5 release of freeBSD and have been working with a 4GB SCSI hard drive for a while. 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):- 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. 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).
