The general formula for calculating the drive number is:
(bus * 8) + target-id
Some of our systems support up to 32 SCSI buses (64 in
V4.0), so you need to take into account the bus number
instead of assuming bus 1.
The C partition is generally the entire disk, so if you
want a file system that spans the entire disk use newfs
(or mkfdmn/addvol) create file system. Also, be careful
with the word "format" since it means performing a low
level device format as opposed to merely creating a file
system on a device.
