My original post was:

        I have not been able to resolve the problem with the "show dev" yet,
but I was able to mount the drive using a couple of commands. First,
I had to run "newfs" on /dev/rz2c and then I was able to run fsck on
the drive and mount it. I would like to thank everyone who helped me on
this.
