Add a disk to an existing system

I have a Solaris Ultra-10, with Solaris 5.8 and I want to add another harddisc to the system.

There is a IDE-disk installed and I want to add another IDE-disk.

During the startup, the /var/adm/message file contains the following lines:

Mar 19 12:12:47 solaris-ws1 dada: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@1,0 (dad1):
Mar 19 12:12:47 solaris-ws1      corrupt label - wrong magic number

Is that okay? What have I to do, to mount the new disc?

format it.

when I type format, the new disk is not displayed. So I can't format the disk.

What have I to do, that "format" shows my new disk?

#drvconfig
#disks

makes my day!
On solaris 8, it says you should use devfsadm, rather than drvconfig (I think it less likely to cause system hangs)
on sol8 drvconfig is a link to devfsadm.  After any hardware change, either boot the machine using "-r" flag, or boot normally and run devfsadm.
Without rebooting.. devfsadm -c disks

With a reboot.. touch /reconfigure ; init 6
