I don't know about the rest of your possible problem - eg bouncing
it on the bench, but you have to correctly reference the devices
for the disk. IDE drivea are ad..... and SCSI drives are da.....
eg the first IDE disk, first slice and partition a would be /dev/ad0s1a
and the first SCSI, first slice, partition a would be /dev/da0s1a
Make a mount point and then you can hand mount it or
make an entry in /etc/fstab for it and do mount -a .
If you are FreeBSD 4.xxx or earlier you may need to to
a MAKEDEV in the /dev/directory for the device
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV da0 or da4 or whatever number it is.
but, if you only have one SCSI disk, that much should already be there.
If you are running 5.xxx, then the dev should be created automagically.
If you get it right and the disk is working correctly, then
that should be all you need - nothing else to edit.
(Odd grinding noises are not normal for SCSI disks)
