God Damn it! SHIT SHIT SHIT.

I am so pissed.

All day I've ben trying to add this 4 GIG SCSI drive to this freeBSD 
system and I can't. I JUST CANT GET IT TO WORK. I NEVER have this problem 
with linux its fdisk and I'm done.

----
O.K. excuse me I had to blow off some steam.
Now calmly, I would like to ask if anyone can offer me some help.

It's a news server.
It already has a 2 GIG SCSI drive.
It has FreeBSD 2.1
It's running INN1.4
Installing it was my first experence with BSD - after a few bugs and 
installing INN software, it runs beautifully.

The second drive is in there.
It's recognized by the computer (SCSI card) and BSD
I can't figure out what tools I need to use to set it up.
I can't figure out how to use disklabel (because there is no definition 
for hardly any drives in /etc/disktab)


Please, if you can give any advice please let me know.
