My original question:

> Could someone please mail me a copy of /dev/MAKEDEV for Solaris 2.5.1; it
> doesn't seem to be installed on any of my machines.

The answer:

/dev/MAKEDEV doesn't exist in Solaris 2.x. After the devices are attached,
do a 'boot -r' from the EEPROM monitor, and the kernel should detect new
devices and configure itself appropriately.

Alternatively, The following script (from the Solaris FAQ) does pretty
much the same thing without a reboot:

#!/bin/sh
#
# add-disk
#
# Runs the commands to make Solaris locate a new disk that
# has been plugged in after the system was booted.
#
                         
/usr/sbin/drvconfig
/usr/sbin/devlinks
/usr/sbin/disks # or /usr/sbin/tapes for tapes
/usr/ucb/ucblinks # Compatibility links
                                          
exit 0
