Mounting a hard disk in FreeBSD
I have just installed a second hard disk on a FreeBSD machine v8.0. It is seen as new hardware:
Code:
# dmesg | grep ad4
ad4: 953869MB <SAMSUNG HD103UJ 1AA01113> at ata2-master SATA300
ad4: 953869MB <SAMSUNG HD103UJ 1AA01113> at ata2-master SATA300

However it is not listed in fstab where "ad4" would have been expected:
Code:
# cat /etc/fstab 
# Device		Mountpoint	FStype	Options		Dump	Pass#
/dev/ad6s1b		none		swap	sw		0	0
/dev/ad6s1a		/		ufs	rw		1	1
/dev/ad6s1e		/tmp		ufs	rw		2	2
/dev/ad6s1f		/usr		ufs	rw		2	2
/dev/ad6s1d		/var		ufs	rw		2	2
/dev/acd0		/cdrom		cd9660	ro,noauto	0	0

When doing "mount -a" no response is given, but certainly the new hard drive was not mounted, because fstab is still the same table as above. What do I do to mount this hard drive?

installboot

installboot(1M) 														   installboot(1M)

NAME

       installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition

SYNOPSIS

       installboot bootblk raw-disk-device

       The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition.

       The  ufs  boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be
       found using the -i option of uname(1).

       The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It is not supported on the  architecture.  users should use installgrub(1M) instead.

       bootblk	       The name of the bootblock code.

       raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is  read-
		       able and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive.

       Example 1: Installing UFS Boot Block

       To install a ufs boot block on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use:

	      example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk 
		   /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0

       /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs

	   directory where ufs boot objects reside.

       /platform/platform-name/ufsboot

	   second level program to boot from a disk or CD

WARNINGS

       The installboot utility fails if the bootblk or openfirmware files do not exist or if the raw disk device is not a character device.
