I followed the FAQ, using:
	fdisk -u /dev/rsd2
        disklabel -rw sd2 st12400n

After these commands it sets up partition 3 as the whole disk
and that is what I want.


but when I try to do a newfs /dev/rsd2, I get this error:

newfs: /dev/rsd2: '2' partition is unavaliable. Whats with partition
2?


What is the problem here. I am trying to work with this documentation,
but it seems to be trial and error. Has someone done this b4? If so
can you post or e-mail some tips please.

-Ron
