Very Computer

This question may have been asked before but as my news server has only JUST
been setup I need to know this answer really quickly and the on line
documents at www.freebsd.org wasn't much of a help.

The problem I seem to have is installing a second hard drive for using just
for the location /usr/news/articles/spool.

I have a Seagate SCSI 2.1G (ST32151N) Hard drive which the drivers can find,
the problem is after following the procedure outline at www.freebsd.org I
get to divide partition according to taste, so I select to have the WHOLE
drive dedicated for the mount point said above.

The procedure say write it out, guess what happens now??? I get a system
core dump.
The debug file doesn't shed any light either.

I am running Freebsd 2.1.6 (stable)

        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1 count=100  # wipe old junk, just in case
        disklabel -Brw sd1 auto
        disklabel -e sd1        # edit your partitions as you want
        newfs -d0 /dev/rsd1a    # etc.
        vi /etc/fstab
        mount -a -t ufs -u

...and you should be done.
