Hello all,

In the course of adding a second hard disk to a FreeBSD 1.1 system I did the 
following:

disklabel -r wd1

then I did a disklabel -e wd1 and edited the file so that it had one partition 
a: 

Then, I multiplied the number of cylinders by the number of sectors per 
cylinder to come up with the size of the partition.  The offset was 0 and the 
filesystem type was 4.2BSD.  The next three parameters were 1024, 8192, and 16.
I changed the RPM to 3600 and the interleave to 1.

I then did a :wq and got the following error:

Label magic number or checksum is wrong (disklabel or kernel out of date).

I am taking it to mean that the addition is not coming up correctly.  Can 
someone fill me in as to what I may be missing?  Maybe the offset needs to be 
1?

Let me know,  thanks..

..Sal
