I'm guessing that doesn't look good... Smilie

Be careful if there's data on the disks that you need!!!

It might just be that the disks aren't "labelled" with a Sun label. When labelled properly a Sun box can read the label and identify the drive.

You can write new labels to the drive(s) by launching the format command with the -e switch (expert mode) which will give you access to a "scsi" menu. Again be careful if there's data on the drives that you need.

Hope that helps.
Luckily there's no important data on the disks, so I'm okay with losing everything as long as I can get all of the disks recognized. I tried running 'format -e' and it looks like it still only sees two disks, unless I misunderstood and I was supposed to run this from the OK prompt:
Code:
root@solaris11:~# format -e
Searching for disks...done


AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
       0. c3t0d0 <LSI-MR9261-8i-2.12 cyl 65533 alt 2 hd 287 sec 31>

You always have to consider that there might be a hardware or connection problem that prevents the machine from seeing the disks.
Hm I hadn't thought of that, maybe I should take out and reseat the disks. Thank you for your help!

eap

EAP(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    EAP(4)

NAME

     eap -- AudioPCI audio device driver

SYNOPSIS

     eap*   at pci? dev ? function ?
     audio* at audiobus?
     joy*   at eap?
     midi*  at eap?
     options EAP_USE_BOTH_DACS

DESCRIPTION

     The eap driver provides support for the Ensoniq AudioPCI and Creative Labs SoundBlaster PCI series of audio cards.  All models based on the
     ES1370, ES1371, and ES1373 chips are supported.

     By specifying:

	   options EAP_USE_BOTH_DACS

     a second audio device is attached.  You can use it simply by directing audio output to it.  This way it is possible for two different pro-
     grams to use the "same" audio device simultaneously.

SEE ALSO

     ac97(4), audio(4), joy(4), midi(4), pci(4)

HISTORY

     The eap device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.4.

CAVEATS

     The joystick port hardware works by emulating a legacy isa(4) joystick port, bypassing the pci(4) bus method for address allocation.  This is
     unlikely to work on PCI busses other than the primary one.  There is also a possibility for conflicts with real ISA devices because the PCI
     bus is probed before ISA.	Use with caution.
