Summary: System can see new hard drive

Thanks to Steve Wills and Matt Morris for responding.

Steve pegged it right with the suggestion of  a bad drive.
I installed a second disk in the same slot and
probe-scsi-all identified it correctly and devfsadm 
allowed it to be recognized by the format command.

Thanks again.
Jim
