I'm installing a second IDE harddrive on my system. It's working since
I'm having no trouble making a MS-DOS partition on it.

My question is: How do I install it under NetBSD (v0.9)?
From what I've understood from the FAQ, I should first disklabel it using
a disktype from the /etc/disktab file. 
In the disktab file I have to define how big and wich partitions I should 
have on my HD.
I can then use newfs to make the disk readable from NetBSD. 

Is this correct, seems rather complicated to me.....
