Tom:

I have done this (mkdev -l hdiskN), but it replies with:

"Method Error: (/etc/methods/cfgscdisk):
            0514-050: Cannot perform the requested functions because the
                                specified device was not detected."

Yet, the boot bios detected it correctly, and it appears as "defined" with
the correct scsi id's.

Any other ideas that I should consider?
