Can't get Solaris 8 to show my second hard drive.
807559Sep 2 2001 — edited Oct 24 2005I installed Sol8 on a 1 hard drive intel machine (as the only OS, no windows). Later, I added a second hard drive, and after running the device config assistant (DCA) still doesn't show it in the list of drives under the 'format' command.
Physically, the new hard drive is using middle IDE plug on my IDE 0, original drive is plugged in on the end of IDE 0. The new hard drive is jumperred to slave, original was orignially set for single, that didn't work so I tried jumperring that one to master, no change in results. On IDE 1 I have a cd-rom on the end plug, originally with no jumper, then added jumper for master (middle plug is empty).
In the BIOS, the second drive was detected with the right number of heads, cyl, etc. It calls it my D drive.
I can get to certain screens in DCA to show me the second drive (only in respect to which drive should boot the kernal - I don't want to install the OS on the second drive, I just want it for extra storage).
Am I missing a step, or am I not installing the hard drive correctly? After DCA and reboot, it still only gives me a choice of my origial drive for 'format', and only shows one drive in the SMC.
I don't know what is on the new drive (it was pulled from another PC).
