Hello:

I've run out of disk space on my main drive and decided to add another one
I had to give a little more space.

First, my setup:  IIcx, 8megs, NetBSD 1.3, GENERIC kernel, 160 meg drive as
scsi ID 5, formatted as root and usr.

I attached another drive (80 meg at scsi ID 0) and formatted it as an A/UX
data drive with Alliance Tools.  I ran mkfs on the partition, started up
the Installer and used the mini-shell to delete the previous /etc/fstab and
then re-made the devices, creating a new fstab file.  All of the
indications so far seem fine.

I then make a mount point for the drive: /archive

When I attempt to mount the drive, logged in a root, this is what I get:

# mount -t ffs /dev/sd0b /archive
sd0:(ncrscsi0:0:0): error code 0
sd0:(ncrscsi0:0:0): error code 0
mount_ffs: /dev/sd0b on /archive: Input/output error
Feb 1 15:40:37  /netbsd: sd0(ncrscsi0:0:0): error code 0
# Feb 1 15:40:37  /netbsd: sd0(ncrscsi0:0:0): error code 0

I've tried it multiple times and get the same result. This would indicate
some sort of kernel problem but what do I know?  I'm still a wannabe geek,
not a real geek like some of you guys! ;)

Any ideas???

Jeff
