Hi gurus,

Problem: I'm trying to install a new SCSI card (Symbios SYM8952U) and
second SCSI hard drive in my Compaq XP1000 running Digital UNIX V4.0F.

Current status/questions:
- I've installed the SCSI card and only one (internal) device, my new
  hard drive, to the new card.
- A "show device" at the boot (>>>) prompt is able to correctly see
  the new SCSI controller and disk.
- Darn, I don't see the new disk (automatically) detected in the startup
  message.
- How do I make a special device file for this new disk? Specifically,
  how do I get the correct parameters for the MAKEDEV command (bus no,
  etc)? How do I set options to have my kernal recognize the new disk?
  I'm still at the sysadmin level where I need detailed explicit examples!

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend,
Chong.
