You would go to /dev and use ./MAKEDEV mlxd1 for that.

I'm not so sure about the deal below though; mlxd0 shouldn't be showing 
up like that.  I'd _suspect_ that you have a stale configuration 
component in the system somewhere from a previous setup, but I've only 
seen the "RAID 7 (offline)" symptom before when things have been so busy 
that I couldn't track it down.

mlx0: <Mylex version 5 RAID interface> port 0x10000-0x1007f mem 0x40000000-0x43ffffff,0x2010000-0x201007f irq 31 at device 8.0 on pci2
mlx0: controller initialisation in progress...
mlx0: initialisation complete.
mlx0: interrupting at TSUNAMI irq 31
mlx0: DAC1164PVX, 3 channels, firmware 5.07-0-79, 64MB RAM
mlxd0: <Mylex System Drive> on mlx0
mlxd0: 8748MB (17915904 sectors) RAID 7 (offline)
mlxd1: <Mylex System Drive> on mlx0
mlxd1: 35002MB (71684096 sectors) RAID 5 (online)
