Unhappy Troubles adding another hard drive in openBSD


Hey all, I'm new around here...and very new to openBSD too...but anyways heres the problem -

I've got everything installed nice; it starts up, plays nice, and it works like a charm - however, when i try to add another hard drive (plugged into my promise ultra133tx2) it starts going crazy:

Normally it thinks root is on wd0a and /var is on wd0d, but when I add this new (and empty) drive to the mix it thinks that root is on wd1a but still thinks /var is on wd0d. at this point it says something like this:

Can't open /dev/rwd0d: Device not configured
CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.
/dev/rwd0d: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck_ffs MANUALLY.
THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY:
ffs: /dev/rwd0d (/var)

So yeah...does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? If you need more info, just ask and ill happily post it.

Thanks!
