Description bobj 2000-06-16 18:30:01 UTC 
Found a reference to hard drive device names that hasn't 
been updated to 4.0 ATA device:

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/disks-adding.html
Chapter 10, section 10.5, "Adding Disks" says
"Continuing with our example, the newly added drive will 
be da1 and we want to mount it on /1. (if you are adding 
an IDE drive substitute wd for da)".  It should mention 
that in 4.0 the device name for ATA drives will be 
'ad-', e.g. 'ad0'.

Fix: 

How about this wording:

"Continuing with our example, the newly added drive will be da1 
and we want to mount it on /1 (if you are adding an IDE drive 
it will be wd1 in pre-4.0 systems, or ad1 in most 4.x systems)."

Note I also moved the period to the end of the sentence.
How-To-Repeat: Refer to web page at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/disk-adding.html
