Hey folks,
i have just installed a second harddisk in my Dell Precision
Workstation 370 (Seagate ST3808110AS). OpenBSD fails to "see" it.
Have anybody here already faced such scenario?
Just today, in fact...
What you don't indicate is where you plugged this drive in or where you
expected it to show up...
Thanks in advance.
Here is my dmesg output:

That appears to be it for IDE controllers.
Did you activate the new drive in the BIOS?
Dell machines have this really odd habit of turning off IDE channels
which are not configured in the BIOS. The channel is turned off, so
OpenBSD doesn't probe it and doesn't see the device. So, make sure the
machine sees the disks in question before expecting the OS to.
I didn't see any unrecognized controllers, so if you have a third-party
controller for this drive, it doesn't appear to be plugged in quite right.
