Summary: I had a small disk 500 mb and after I had already installed wanted to add another (about the same) and the system seems to think I need to make another installation with a bootable bit etc.

Description David B. Foulis 2001-11-25 22:40:00 UTC 
I think I made a mistake trying to add another disc, it`s a SCSI disc 524 mb as a second disc (da1).
I wanted it just to add to the general capacity and hoped it would be just intigrated, but the system seemed to think that it was a new installation process that needed a new bootsector as well(when I left the sysinstall it couldn`t find any commands and through inexperience I had to just switch off which I dislike to have to do.
Both discs should (Ihope) form a single entity of disk space, which I thought would happen automatically, because of the description that bsd is not like linux where one makes  a series of partitions etc var usr home, and so on.

Fix: 

I`d like advice on the best way to deal with a situation like this and maybe an answer to the problem of finding out how much space is available.
How-To-Repeat: One could just do what I descraibed above but I don`t think it is necessary, it`s a beginners problem.
