When I loaded up FreeBSD to my system the hard drive was on the secondary master connector, it has named this if I remember right now ad2, I put a second HDD in today that has ended up on the primary master connector, and the system now sees that as ad0.
I then spent the rest of the day trying to add this drive to the system using sysinstall and other means from google, as well as trying to follow the man and other pages. I still can not get it to install, it drove me nuts after doing the disklabel part and asking me to edit the fstab entry, and then refusing to even load up, all I got was an error and misery.
This is my fstab.
it took me all day to figure out how to get back into the system and edit this to stop the ad0 drive entry and finally get my system back.
If I change the entries in this for drive /dev/ad2s1b etc to ad0s1b etc and place the drive on the primary master connection would this work the same. I really do not want to spend all day repairing it again if it would not. and then how in hells teeth do I finally get that second drive to work and is its entry in fstab correct.
Thanks

Code:
