: Can anyone tell me how to install two extra scsi disks on my Free BSD system. 
: I have gone through all the faq's and have come up with nothing.

An easy way is: every new SCSI-Disk build in as the one and only. 
 Now use the Installation-Disks and install only 2 Disk's 
 (1. kernel, 2. filesys)
 Boot with your old Hardware-Configuration and mount /dev/sdXa /mnt.

A fine way is: look into 'dmesg' and figure out: cylinders, sectors, ...
 Build a disklabel, append it onto /etc/disklabel and do a newfs on
 the right device (that is not easy, but fast and without multiple booting 
 and without any screwdriver)
