Hi Managers!
Okay, we collectively give up. We've looked through the archives, hoping to
find the answer and save face on what appears to be a silly problem.
We just bought an rz29 drive and slid it in to our Alpha. The hardware IS
recognized at the console level by the machine. However, we cannot get unix
to recognize it!
We can MAKEDEV, but not disklabel. The following are our errors:
./MAKEDEV rz10
MAKEDEV: special file(s) for rz10:
rz10a rrz10a rz10b rrz10b rz10c rrz10c rz10d rrz10d rz10e rrz10e rz10f rrz10f rz

Help! What are we missing? We've added drives before ... it's got to be
something stupid! Please, pull us out of this mire of despair!! Okay, that's
a little melodramatic, but ... hey, what's a little fun between all these
gray hairs!!
Thanks,
Sheryl
