Adding hard drives to an existing SCSI controller



I'm dealing with an OpenServer 5.0.6 system, which is a new OS for me.
I need to add SCSI drives to an existing system, which already has
boot drives, and find that the "mkdev hd" utility insists that I know
a lot of information about the existing hardware, including LUN's and
other data.

Is there a graceful way to extract that information from the boot
logs, or a readable configuration file somewhere? I've gotten spoiled
by the BSD UNIX style "fdisk -l" command to list the available drives
on other UNIX or Linux systems. The system has multipls SCSI
controllers, and I really don't want to have to bring it down to poke
things manually.
