Can sysinstall be used to install a SCSI drive if 2 IDEs already exist? 
Ive tried fdisk/disklabel/newfs and am throughally confused by disktab and
the parameters....Ive tried sysinstall and managed to partition 240 Meg
Quantum, but I cant label it...I want to create a /ftp for ftp (obviously)
but Im afraid Im gonna nuke my existing partitions/labels...Ive learned
unix on this machine and I dont want to kill my first unix child..A step
by step would be helpful    

thanks
