I went through this process on a 2.2.7 machine the other day and /dev/rsd1c worked. I tried su-2.01# newfs -N /dev/rsd1s1c newfs: /dev/rsd1s1c: Device not configured Oh well, this seemed like it made sense. Should I create /dev/rsd1s4c? It doesn't make much sense to me that the necessary devices to add a second drive are not part of the standard OS. Is their a document somewhere that explains which devices should be associated with standard partitions when secondary disks are used? Thanks.
