Hi,

I am trying to put a new disk on my system. I read the description of the process in FreeBSD Unleashed and apparently I misunderstood it, because I ended up installing a boot manager on the new disk. Now I can not mount it - I get error messages like:

# mount /dev/ad1e /mnt/backup
operation not permitted

How do I 'start over'? I have tried to add this disk many times with /stand/sysinstall. Eventually I gave up and went to the command line utilities as outlined in the handbook. The error I got was interesting, but I have no idea what it means:

# fdisk -BI ad1
******* Working on device /dev/ad1 *******
fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
