How to mount a drive
I connected an external SCSI drive, I see it when I do 'format', I went ahead and formatted it.

How do I mount it now though so I can use it?

I'm on SunOS 5.9 if it matters.
Thanks!

If it's at all similar to the Sun system I have access to, the /etc/vfstab file specifies which drive gets mounted on what directory. See 'man vfstab' for details on setup. When specified there, you will be able to mount the drive with 'mount /path/to/directory'.
