Hi all!

Have trouble - new computer, must be FreeBSD4.8
2 HDDs - first is 20Gb, second 200Gb
When installing - all ok.

After rebooting tried to do through /stand/sysinstall -> Fdisk -> selecting 200Gb HDD ->a->w->q

Then "Label" menu->c->selecting maximum volume->selecting mount point "/base->w->shows the error "Error mounting /dev/ad2s1e on /base : Device not configured" 

What I'm doing wrong?

Please help.

Regards,
Nikolay

one thing i noticed was that after you create a partition (fdisk) the drive
you have to reboot (power off) for the drive to reread the new partition
and then the disklabel will work. Maybe it is because when freebsd boots 
up it didnt see
a valid partition on the drive so it was not configured at boot time.
