Please help me. I am at a loss.  I have been working with 2.0.5 release =
of freeBSD and have been working with a 4GB SCSI hard drive for a while. =
 I am trying to install another 2 GB SCSI drive to the system, a Quantum =
model VP32210, and I am having problems with it.  The parameter of the =
drive reported by the system is: cylinders=3D 4243, head =3D 8, sectors =
=3D 255 and the total sectors =3D 4276943.

First I run fdisk:

fdisk -u /dev/rsd1

then I follow all the default values until it gets to

Should we write new partition table?[n]

Where I enter y and hit return. Then I get the following error.

ioctl DIOCWDINFO: Operation not supported by device

Can you tell me what could be wrong?  I tried everything I can think of =
and I had not luck.  Mind you, I am not very fluent in UNIX but I =
thought it was very easy to do this.  Am I missing something? Thanks =
much for your help.
