Its not clear if you have one issue or two. If it doesn't
show up in the list of disks that format presents you need
to run devfsadm (if you are on Solaris 7 or later) or do a
reconfiguration reboot (or the other old way) to have the
disk added. To fix the bad magic number problem you need to
relabel the disk (you do this from format).
