Hello, i've recently installed FreeBSD 5.3 on my workstation.
Earlier i were using winxppro and my disk's are still in ntfs format.
Now i wonder wich command i'm supposed to use to format my disks into ufs.
Most of all i would like a guide of some kind, igot a command once but i really didn't understood that one.

Thx.
how did you install freebsd and retain a ntfs disk? That doesnt make sense, because when you install freebsd it does newfs to format it to UFS. Im guessing you had some partitions...well I would just reinstall freebsd and do the A option and use the whole disk and use S to set it to bootable.
#man newfs
