I'm a bit of a newbie that needs to add another IDE disk to an existing
system. FreeBSD can see the disk OK and I can create the partition using
the tools in the install program, however when I try to create the labels I
get a message that says something like Unable to add .... Device not
configured. I've been into /dev and made the necessary devices but still no
luck.
Any help much appreciated.

1. Problem adding new drive on SCO/386 machine
I've run into a problem adding a disk drive to a SCO/386 machine and I
was wondering if anyone had any ideas. The machine has an Adaptec 2740
SCSI card, and it's been configured with the 1540 ad SCSI driver. There
are 2 SCSI disks, and one SCSI tape drive currently in the machine. The
disk drives are at IDs 0 and 1, and the tape drive and ID 2. I added a
third drive at SCSI ID 3, and the firmware sees the new drive, but
SCO doesn't. I did a "mkdev hd 2 0 0 ad" and rebuilt the kernel and
kernel environment. When I did it the second time, as I'm supposed
to for a SCSI drive, it complained it couldn't open /dev/rdsk/2s0. I
looked and no such device existed. I tried creating the device
manually with the major/minor of 1,128, and when I tried accessing
the device, it complained there was no such device or address.
All the utilities for dealing with disks want a working device, but
the kernel refuses to see the new drive. Any ideas as to what I need
to do to make the kernel see the new drive?
