G'day,

before you can mount and use a new drive you have to partition the
drive in question using a utility such as disklabel, construct a new
filesystem using newfs and edit the /etc/fstab file in order to mount
the new partitions on next boot.

For more info see the the relevant man-pages and the installation
description for netbsd-alpha found on

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5/alpha/INSTALL.html
