Hi!

On my FBSD 5.4 I have added second disk via sysinstall and with label 
/disk2. I can access it normally but what bothers me that on daily Disk 
status it shows me only the status for the first disk and not that second 
one:
------------
Disk status:
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad2s1a  37669550 28025600 6630386    81%    /
devfs               1        1       0   100%    /dev
------------

In my fstab I have:
----------------
# cat /etc/fstab
# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump 
Pass#
/dev/ad2s1b             none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/ad2s1a             /               ufs     rw              1       1
/dev/acd0               /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
/dev/acd1               /cdrom1         cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
----------------

So my second drive isn't listed here but I can still access it without 
needing to mount it manually.

Some other info:
First disk:
--------------
# fdisk /dev/ad2
******* Working on device /dev/ad2 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=79656 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=79656 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 63, size 80292807 (39205 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:

Second disk:
--------------
# fdisk /dev/ad3

        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>

How is it possible to mount second disk automatically if it is not listed 
in  /etc/fstab?

Sasa
