The man pages and example files for disktab, disklabel, and newfs explain everything. I suppose for a shortcut you could even boot the install disk; go through the menu to partition and disklabel the second disk; then quit the installation. This should be the easiest way if you can afford to have some down-time. -- Bruce Jackson | P. O.
