Cheers to all those who helped. The key was to do the probe-scsi after a;
OK> reset
or from a cold boot. You need to make sure you have auto-boot? false set or
you find yourself having to stop-A again and cursing etc.
A boot -r after finding the disk on the scsi chain will sort it out. (did
got me) My scsi chain was all arse over elbow.
All basic stuff, thanks!

The above box is a bit of a dinosaur. I recently moved it and in the process
had to unplug the external scsi drive and 8mm tape. Once it was all plugged
back in I booted up and get this;
/dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s0: No such file or directory
Can't stat /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s0
/dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s0: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.
/dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s0: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
I took a look with format and the only disk I can see is;
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t3d0 <SUN1.3G cyl 1965 alt 2 hd 17 sec 80>
/iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/dma@f,81000/esp@f,80000/sd@3,0
Which suggests to me that c0t5d0 has gone AWOL. I ran a probe-scsi at the OK
prompt and the box hung up. Had to switch it off.
Am I using the wrong commands to probe for the missing disk? Any ideas?
Cheers as always and I'll summarise.
Annie
