I would pay money to have a shiny new automatic way to add disks. I did it, but I'm not very confident I've done it correctly... One thing I think would help is more /etc/disktab entries; as wresting with hard-drive tech support over definitions of T/S has made me crazy. Perhaps anyone that has actually set up any disktab entries could send them to this list?
