How do I add a second hard disk.
How do I add a second hard disk to my system SCO OpenServer 5.
So far I have /dev/rhd10. But have had no luck in being
able to use it. A complete list of commands I need would be good. I want to use all the hard disk for unix.

Good answer unfortunately whenever I start to write to this
disk for one reason or another it crashes the whole machine.
I even tried installing SCO again with just this disk as the master but the install falls over virtually straight away. But that's
nothing more than I've come to expect of crappy UNIX.
I did however manage to install it on another PC with this disk so that will sort my problem.

I don't know much about SCO Unix, but it sounds as if you need to create a filesystem on your new disk and mount it. I think the
tool for doing this is called "newfs" in Solaris - it might be
similar in SCO. Under Solaris you'd then need to edit the /etc/vfstab and /etc/dfstab files to mount the disk.
