UPDATE: Cluster Install

I sent this message around about a week ago. I got a few quick replies
asking what system I was using, and so forth.
I don't believe I'm using LSM - I don't have a working knowledge of it, and
I believe we weren't using it before..
I'm using ADVfs, and when I did disklabel -z on all the disks, that seemed
to work, but the install disk still can't see them.
One machine can see one disk, and the other can see another disk, but
neither can see them both. Should I try installing on the disk that they can
see, and then hope that they can see the others, or is there something else
I need to do? If this is the case, how do I do it, bearing in mind that all
the disks now have no label and I can't boot a system to them, so I can't
operate on them.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
