Thanks to everyone that helped me add a drive an Alpha 200.

Here is a summary of the steps involved:

- It isn't necessary to "format" the disk.

For a Unix file System:
   - disklabel -rw /dev/rrzXX unknown (disklabel might figure out
                                      the default info/partitions
                                      for the drive)
   - disklabel -r /dev/rrzXX (check the label)
   - newfs /dev/rrzXX
   - modify the /etc/fstab for mounting of the new disk

For AdvFS
   - mkfdmn device domain
   - mkfset domain fset
   - mount domain#fset dir
