I'm still running 2.0.5 and I've found newfs refuses to make new filesystem
for me.

The SCSI disks is 8GB large (a RAID device) and I've run fdisk, partitioned
into 2GB size partitions (even have done that under DOS too, so I can
skip fdisk under FreeBSD).

disklabel -e gives warning about 0 rpm and 0 interleave etc...

newfs seems to require /etc/disktab entry too. Can anyone tell me the
exact steps to add a SCSI disks on 2.0.5R?

I've hooked this up to a BT956D (16 bit f/w/d) and the system bootup
telling me it's negotiate in aync mode. Any idea too?
