HD problems

Hi,

I have a 9.1 gb and 18.3 gb IBM SCSI-3 hds on my pws433au. The 9.1 drive
works fine, but as for the 18.3, I'm getting the following error when
trying to install TRU64 5.1 on it:

prom_getenv: Unable to convert 'SCSI 0 1009 0 0 0 0 0'
cdisk_ioctl: XPT_GET_LOG failed
 device_translate: device cannot be translated 'SCSI 0 1009 0 0 0 0 0'

Any ideas what it could be? Does it mean that there is something wrong
with the drive?

The drive appears correctly in the srm console.

Moreover, my drives appear as dkc0 and dkc100. I would have expected it to
show up as dka0 and dka100. From what I gathered, a or c are the bus
numbers, but I still can't understand why they are that way since I have
seen another configuration that was identical and had dka0 and dka100. It's
not a big problem as it works, but I'd love to understand. Is there any way
I could change any setting so it would change it back to dka?

Thanks for your help

Patrick
