Question Mount Second Disk

Anyone,

I am trying to mount a second hard drive on a sunfire V120 w/solaris 5.8. I took this hard drive from another system because I deleted some files off that system and I want to mount it to another system so I can copy the file back onto the system. I really have no other means of getting the file of the known good system (CD/floppy). I inserted the drive into a second bay (supposedly disk1 slot).

Let it be known that I am far from a gurru at Unix. What I've learned is stricly self taught from bits and bits of reading.

I inserted the disk and booted the system. I then tried to to copy the file

cp -r [directory] /dev/disk1/home (I made that command up I'm sure) needless to say it didn't work.

what I want to do is beable to mount this second disk and be able to access it from the first disk kinda like you would a cdrom [cd /cdrom/cdrom0].


or I will be checking this thread periodically.

Thanks in Advance

Helo. First of all, in the forum rules you can read:
Code:
(10) Don't post your email address and ask for an email reply. 
The forums are for the benefit of all, so all Q&A should take place in the forums.


On the secon hand, assuming you do not use solstice or veritas...
Use the "format" comand to check that your OS sees the new disk.
Once you have the name, mount the slice you are interested in with something like this:
mount /dev/dsk/cXtYdZsW /path/to/mount
Where cXtYdZsW is the slice you want to mount.

Regards.
