I'm trying to re-arrange a secondary SCSI disk so that instead of
one big file system, it has a swap partition as well. Unfortunately
in nearly every menu in sysinstall, it says 'No disks found!'
I'm totally at a loss as to why this is happening. I assume there's
a missing node in /dev but 'disklabel' has no trouble seeing the
drive:

root ~> disklabel da1
# /dev/rda1c:
...
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  c:  8899737        0    unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 844*)
  e:  8899737        0    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.    0 - 844*)

Here are all the da1 devices in /dev:

root ~> ls /dev/*da1*
/dev/da1        /dev/da1f       /dev/da1s4      /dev/rda1e      /dev/rda1s3
/dev/da1a       /dev/da1g       /dev/rda1       /dev/rda1f      /dev/rda1s4
/dev/da1b       /dev/da1h       /dev/rda1a      /dev/rda1g
/dev/da1c       /dev/da1s1      /dev/rda1b      /dev/rda1h
/dev/da1d       /dev/da1s2      /dev/rda1c      /dev/rda1s1
/dev/da1e       /dev/da1s3      /dev/rda1d      /dev/rda1s2

I'm open to all suggestions.
Thanks...
