You are doomed...
There is no pvextend .. but there is a
Code:
  pvchange -x y /dev/dsk/c0t0d0

Give the correct value of the disk... block device ( no rdsk...)
e.g.
Code:
aph:/home/vbe $ vgdisplay -v vg00|grep dsk
   PV Name                     /dev/dsk/c0t5d0
   PV Name                     /dev/dsk/c0t8d0

then use the returned value e.g /dev/dsk/c0t5d0
and see using pvdisplay what it changes...
I promise nothing... because I see no way how to extend PE and this option of pvchange I never had to use... The idea is vg00 has max PE /pv of 2000 meaning that if we can extend we should be able to reach almost 8 GB...
Have you looked at your make_recovery man pages?
Do you have a DAT unit to use?

rxformat

RXFORMAT(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       RXFORMAT(8)

NAME

       rxformat - format floppy disks (2.11BSD)

SYNOPSIS

       rxformat special

DESCRIPTION

       The rxformat program formats a diskette in the specified drive associated with the special device special.  Special is normally /dev/rrx0?,
       for drive 0, or /dev/rrx1?, for drive 1, where ``?'' is either "a" or "b" to indicate single or double density access.  The ``raw''  device
       must  be  used.	 Single  density is compatible with the IBM 3740 standard (128 bytes/sector).  In double density, each sector contains 256
       bytes of data.

       Before formatting a diskette rxformat prompts for verification if standard input is a tty (this allows a user to cleanly abort  the  opera-
       tion; note that formatting a diskette will destroy any existing data).  Formatting is done by the hardware.  All sectors are zero-filled.

DIAGNOSTICS

       `No  such  device'  means that the drive is not ready, usually because no disk is in the drive or the drive door is open.  Other error mes-
       sages are selfexplanatory.

FILES

       /dev/rrx??

AUTHOR

BUGS

       A floppy may not be formatted if the header info on sector 1, track 0 has been damaged.	Hence, it is not possible to format  a	completely
       degaussed disk.	(This is actually a problem in the hardware.)
