Date: Fri, 19 May 1995 03:26:33 GMT Lines: 25 When my system boots, it finds both sd0 and sd1 on the boot-time SCSI bus scan. sd0 is my system disk and I have a new disk (sd1) that I want to label and create a new file system for use with FreeBSD. The problem is when I try to use 'disklabel' to initialize the disk, it tells me that /dev/rsd1c is not configured. But I checked my conf/sys files and devices sd0 -->sd3 are all configured, plus the initial startup messages confirm that the disk is out there and the system has assigned it to be sd1. I tried to do a MAKEDEV on sd1 just to make sure everything was ok but that didn't help. Do I have to run another disk utility BEFORE 'disklabel' in order to install a new SCSI disk on the SCSI bus? Thanks in advance!!! Randy --- /* Rt */
