The 'Adding a Disk' page in the Handbook explains how to add disks to the system via /stand/sysinstall
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-adding.html Im running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and followed the directions on the above link but fdisk gave me a heads up when trying to commit my changes (w): %<--------------------------- WARNING:This should only be used when modifying an EXISTING installation. If you are installing FreeBSD for the first time then you should simply type Q when you're finished here and your changes will be committed in one batch automatically at the end of these questions. If you're adding a disk, you should NOT write from this screen, you should do it from the label editor. >%--------------------------- Im just curious, is the documentation out of date or the sysinstall > configure > fdisk? Doing it via the 'label editor', im assuming mean bsdlabel, correct? Then this confuses me because dmesg reports i have a (for example) ad4 device (/dev/ lists no other ad4 slices). So i do a: %<--------------------------- bigbang:admin> sudo bsdlabel -e ad4 bsdlabel: /dev/ad4: no valid label found >%--------------------------- Would anyone be so kind to share with me there notes on adding a new disk to a system? sysinstall > congiure > fdisk seems to work but that warning confuses me.
