Adding as a second hard drive

You need to tell us what version of FreeBSD you are running.

You will need to add the drive physically.  You need to choose how the 
drive will be used:  single filesystem or multiple filesystems.  What mount 
points will you use for these file systems.

In general you will need to partition the new drive drive, then run newfs 
on the new partitions to create the file systems.  Once the filesystems are 
created you will need to edit /etc/fstab to set the mounting of these 
filesystems.  I would recommend you reboot to test the setup of the new mounts.
