IS there a way to avoid booting genvmunix to add a new disk ?

Hi,
        On my Alpha (running 3.2d-1), I'd slapped in a RZ29B-VA a
few weeks ago. Now I need to use it without booting genvmunix and
rebuilding the kernel using doconfig -c HOSTNAME.

The last disk active I added was the first disk on the second controller
DKB0. This new disk shows up as DKB100.

The entry in the config for the last disk looks like this -
device disk rz8 at scsi1 drive 64

Is it safe to assume that the new disk would be rz9 ? and if so does
the following entry look right -
device disk rz9 at scsi1 drive 72

If I add the above line and rebuild my kernel, would it be OK ? I want
to mimimize my downtime and reduce the number of stages (i.e avoid
booting genvmunix etc..)

Thanks in advance.
