Hi,

I have a system with three disks.  I need to partion the two non-boot disks
and create file systems on it.  I went in to format utility and picked
partion menu.  I decided to stop there.  As I am not sure what to do.  I am
used to dealing with disk through the Volume Manager, I never had to do it
manually before.  Theoretically I undersatnd that I need to partion the
disks and newfs them, and then mount them.  It is the practical side tha I
am lacking.

Thanks.
