Hi all,

I've recently installed i386/1.3.3 and wanted to add another IDE disk.
Should be easy enough.

When I try to edit the disklabel ("disklabel -i wd1"), it warns me
that I should run disklabel -r to write an initial label.

8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  a:  4120641       63      4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.  0*- 1021*)
partition> W
Label disk [n]? y
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: No disk label on disk;
use "disklabel -r" to install initial label
Label not written

So I run "disklabel -r wd1"...

# disklabel -r wd1
disklabel: no disk label

I guess I am missing something _really_ simple, but I have no idea
what it is...

Any advice would be appreciated.
