new disk configuration

Dear Unix-Masters,

I am LAN administrator and I have one Alpha Server 400 machine with
Digital Unix 4.0B. I am not familiar with Unix but I lost my unix
specialist and now I am forced to manage the unix server by my own. I
looked for solution to the list archive but all advices I found, did
not help me enough.

This is my story:
I installed physically new disk in the server.
Probably hardware is OK because after 'show device' command I have
following answer:

dka0.0.0.6.0 DKA0 SEAGATE ST34573N 6244
dka100.1.0.6.0 DKA100 RZ29B 0016
dka400.4.0.6.0 DKA400 RRD46 0557
dka600.6.0.6.0 DKA600 RZ26N 1103
dva0.0.0.1 DVA0
mka500.5.0.6.0 MKA500 TLZ09 0167
ewa0.0.0.13.0 EWA0 00-00-F8-31-0C-DF
pka0.7.0.6.0 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 7

The new disk is indicated in first line. In lines 2 and 4 there are
data of my factory-installed disks. I use a disk configuration tool in
CDE environment to configure disks (make partitions and define files
system). I expected that my disk would be visible automaticly after
rebooting but it would not.

First I tried to make a new device using MAKEDEV command. I generated
rz2 device (rz0, rz1 are existing disk devices). But my configuration
tool says: 'This device has been physically removed, is experiencing a
hardware problem, or is not random access read/write device. No
information is available'

Then I read from documentation I schould probably rebuild kernel. I
booted to system as single user using genvmunix and made a new config
file. I compared my existing config file with new one but I could not
find any differences concerning new device. Anyway I corrected one
line and generated new kernel. (both configuration files are attached
to this message; ALFA is a name of my machine) With no result. After rebooting with new kernel my
configuration tool say the same old story: 'This device has been
physically removed...'.

Probably I missed a procedure of merging device file (e.g. rz2) with
physical device (SEAGATE ST34573N). But in documentation I have found
no clues and it seem to me it schould go automatically. But it does
not. Could you help me?

Please, send answers to my main address: arw_at_win.oss.wroc.pl
