Please excuse my severe case of ignorance :-) My system: 486-33 16 m 313m SCSI HD (already installed, rsd0, w/ ver 2.1)(ONLY BSD is on this drive) I want to install another 313m SCSI HD (rsd1) and mount it as /www-root. I have the 2nd drive already partitioned. I want to use the whole disk as /www-root. I have tried to add this drive through the installation disk, but I must be missing something. Do I go through the whole process with both disks or just the new one? If I go through the whole thing and write out the info won't that destroy everything on the original disk (rsd0). That would be a very bad thing, I would hate to kill everything since I have made alot of modifications to the kernel and configuration files. Aside from floppies :-( I don't have any way to back the system up (at this time). I went through the install disk with just the 2nd drive attached, wrote the info to the disk, and exited when I was told I needed a swap partition. I then tried to mount the drive with 'mount /www-root /dev/rsd1' and it failed. When your done laughing could someone please help :-) Thanks C-ya Scott
