Try something like this.

# devfsadm
will create device files for the second disk (a reconfigure boot will do
it too).

then look in /dev/dsk and find the recently created device files.
Hopefully you should see some that are for the second drive.



# mkdir /tmp/a


# mount /dev/dsk/some_new_device /tmp/a

then the disk slices should be seen on /tmp/a

If you are using ZFS, then ignore me, and seek more expert help.
