Got sick trying to add SCSI disk to existing FreeBSD system - sysinstall is driving me crasy when I click Disklabel/sd1 - it still bringing me existing sd0 drive with stupid message:"you have to partition disk before using it". It's partitioned, it works, I dont want to touch sd0, I need my sd1 disklabeled!

Tried to use disklabel utility - the interface of disklabel has no right to be called "interface". It's just a vi session of god knows what.

Does anybody know how to disklabel new SCSI disk and add it to the system without such pain??!!?

go into src/lib/libdisk make tst01 tst01 sd1

and be very careful :-)
