I think I did it wrong, again. Here were the results:

What is the LUN of this device?
Press <Return> to use the default: 0
Select 0-7, or h for help, or q to quit: 0

You are about to add the following SCSI device:

Host
Adapter Adapter
Type Device Number ID LUN BUS
----------------------------------------------
mdac Sdsk 0 1 0 1

Update SCSI configuration? (y/n) y

The SCSI configuration file has been updated.
\nA new kernel must be built and rebooted before disk configuration can continue
. Would you like to relink at this time? (y/n) \c
y

The UNIX Operating System will now be rebuilt.
This will take a few minutes. Please wait.

Root for this system build is /
idmkreg: can not locate or open 'Sdsk/device.dat'

*
wd Srom 1 0 0 0
mdac Sdsk 0 0 1 0

alad Stp 0 2 0 0


mdac Sdsk 0 1 1 0

mdac Sdsk 0 1 0 1

deleted the one in red & rebuilt the kernel.....tried this.....but this is pointing to a specific disk (in red)??

Enter the prefix of the SCSI host adapter that supports this device
or press <Return> for the default: 'mdac'
Enter h for a list of host adapters or enter q to quit:

Which 'mdac' SCSI host adapter supports this device?
Select 0-4, or enter q to quit: 0

The Host Adapter parameters will be automatically configured

What SCSI Bus is this device attached to?
Press <Return> to use the default:0
Select 0-n, or h for help, or q to quit: 0

What is the Target ID for this device?
Select 0-15, or h for help, or q to quit: 1

What is the LUN of this device?
Press <Return> to use the default: 0
Select 0-7, or h for help, or q to quit: 1
\nDisk already configured as disk number 1 (/dev/dsk/1s0)
\nDuring installation you may choose to overwrite all
or part of the present contents of your hard disk.
\nDo you wish to continue? (y/n) \c

I don't know if this is the right one? Would this be my new 17GB hard drive that I need?? Appreciate more. Thanks.
