Ok, I give up. I'm running a simple box with:

120MHz 486
NetBSD 1.1
8MB Mem
2 - Serial IO cards
NE2000 compatible
SVGA 
850MB Seagate IDE
3.2GB IBM IDE

I've gotten 2nd and 3rd disks to configure on other NetBSD boxes.  I can't figure 
out what I'm doing wrong here.

>From "dmesg" I get:

This shows up after a reboot. So, I think it must actually be on the disk.

Then I get this from newfs "/dev/rwd1":

    # newfs /dev/rwd1a
    newfs: /dev/rwd1a: Device not configured

Thanks,
