  I am having a great amount of difficulty in adding a second 
  hard disk to my system. The configuration is as follows:

	Micronics Motherboard 386/20 w/8MB ram
	Western Digital RLL Controller WD1006V-SR2
	Seagate 65MB Hard Drive ST277R
	Seagate 122MB Hard Drive ST4144R
  
  I can use either drive as drive 0. I have formatted both using
  the controller BIOS and the Interactive formatting program, as
  it appears that I first have to do a low level format with the
  BIOS, then format under unix, then reset the drive type with
  the controller BIOS ( should I really have to do this ). When
  I tried to add the second hard drive, using the sysadm menus,
  after answering the questions, the drive light comes on, and stays
  on forever ( or at least as long as I could wait :-) ). At this 
  point I had to reboot in order to use the machine again. I then
  tried to add the disk manually, but this seemed to have a problem
  at the point I ran mkpart. Same symptoms, red light goes on,
  wait for the heat death of the universe. I would really like
  to get the extra 65MB, as it would make some development projects
  much easier. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  P.S. - I also configured the HPDD, just in case, although it 
	 seems this shouldn't be neccessary.
