[SunRescue] Extra HD

[Walter Peterson]

Got this working! I needed the device name but found it in /dev/dsk. It was
c0t1d0s0. Sheesh /dev/hdb1 seems so much simplier. The drvconfig also made
the VGA frame buffer I got work with X. Thanx everyone for the help.

Next question....The ISDN interface on the ss10. Where would one set SPIDs
and such? Does the system treat this like a serial port? Has anyone ever
used this with pppd to get an Internet connection?
