Sounds like you are getting close ... after doing the patching and adding
the DDK think you may need to either do a reconfig reboot or cause solaris
to recheck update /dev stuff (sorry forgetting command right now) ...
slowest way is to do an "init 0" then at ok prompt "boot -r".
If you formatted drive under windows/dos then you need to use format
command (or perhaps gui equivalent) and partition the drive then write out
the label. After that has been done you should be able to use newfs
command to create a solaris partition then mount that partition.
After updating to the ddk I did have some success using usb 2 external hard
drives that just wouldn't work at all prior to that. Sounds like you are
using firewire connection instead of usb right?
Keep us posted! John
