I bought a new 80GB disk today that I want to use with my NetBSD box.
Somehow something isn't working right:

# newfs /dev/wd2d
newfs: /dev/wd2d: not a character-special device

Am I supposed to use disklabel first?  The last time I added a disk to 
this system was 2
years ago and I really dont remember how I did it.

Thanks for any help
