There does not seem to be any painless way of adding a
second SCSI drive to a friend's 2.1 box.  Could someone
from the core team please post the "definitive" guide
to adding another disk?  It seems to be a very common
question.

I can't seem to add get a Conner 4207S and a Seagate
15150N (both 7200 SCSI-2 4gig drives) to cohabitate.
I can load 2.1 on either one, but cannot mount partitions
from both drives at the same time (even if the 2nd drive
already has FreeBSD partitions on it).  Fdisk can see
the FreeBSD partitions on the 2nd drive, but they
will not mount (mount complains that it can't find
the target partition).

Any help or pointers to a source of information would 
be greatly appreciated.

Chris
