I am not sure how big a question you are asking here. If it is
just what the dev name will be, then others have answered that.
Just look in /dev for ad* or look in dmesg for ad** devices
being recognized, etc.
But, maybe you mean the whole process of getting the new drive
built, mounted and usable. Is that what you are asking? If so,
the first comment is 'the FreeBSD Handbook is your Friend'.
The general outline is:
fdisk(8) - Make at least one FreeBSD slice on it
bsdlabel(8) - Make at least one partition in each slice
newfs(8) - Build a filesystem on each partition created
mkdir /newdska - create mount points for each partition to be mounted
edit /etc/fstab to add mount definitions - presuming you want it mounted
- whenever you boot.
Something like:
/dev/ad1s1a /newdsk ufs rw 2 2
mount /newdsk - (or just 'mount -a' will do it) Mount the partition
You can use sysinstall to do all this if you are squeemish about
doing it youself. But is really isn't that hard and you will
learn a little more about how you disk system is put together.
Have fun,
