I am trying to add a second IDE drive to my current setup (1 IDE, 1 SCSI)
but I can't get dsiklabel to work on the second disk. It returns
disklabel: /dev/rwd1d: Invalid argument
I get this whether I try to read, write or whatever. I tried the stuff in the
FAQ but mine is not the same condition. Even if I give disklabel the
wrong number of arguments, it still returns the same message. I used to
have a different second IDE drive there and it worked OK. This was on an
earlier patch kit. I have Coherent (Mark Williams Co *IX clone)
and a DOS extended partition on the drive already. I would rather not
remove them. Can anyone clue me in?
