Hi -
I feel pretty stupid asking this (hence the username), but I need help installing an additional hard drive on a box I have.
I have an old beige G3 tower which is running Darwin 6.01. The Hard Drive in it is only 6 GB, and I need to expand it a bit, as I'd like to use it for backing up a lot of data. So, I got an 80 GB hard drive, and snapped it in. It happily showed up as /dev/rdisk1. I ran pdisk to create the partition /dev/rdisk1s2 (Apple_Unix_SVR2). Then I ran newfs like this:
# newfs /dev/rdisk1s2
This seemed to work, so I tried to mount the partition like this:
# mount /dev/rdisk1s2 /mnt/here
At this point, I get the error message:
/dev/rdisk1s2 on /mount/here: Block device required
and nothing happens. I feel pretty stupid, but I can't seem to make it work. I'm a complete noob in the BSD world, so any help is appreciated. If the steps I've taken are completely wrong, and/or you know a better way, feel free to point me straight.
Thanks Much!
