    Managers,

I am still waiting to summarize the answers to the question of changing the
drive number of an existing system disk.

Meanwhile, I also wish to install a new data disk. I am running DU 4.0.
I did a MAKEDEV rz8. After physically attaching the disk on reboot, I see:

Mar 11 13:58:09 corvette vmunix: rz8 at scsi1 target 0 lun 0 (LID=3) (SEAGATE
ST19171N 0019)

This is a 9 GB Barracuda. Following the prescription given in this forum for
labelling non-DEC disks, where the disk should supply the label, I did:

root 14261 14055 0 15:44:09 pts/9 0:00 disklabel -wrn rz8 unknown

The process just hangs. kill -9 doesn't kill the process. All other
disklabel commands to the disk also hang.

What am I doing wrong?
