Try running 'dp' and checking the partition info for the Use partition.  Last
I looked, HD Setup missed some of the A/UX fields.  Next, you need to use
'pname' to associate a partition on other than the boot device with a
particular slice.  On the boot device, slice 0 is the root partition, and
slice 2 is the usr partition, if there is one.  Non boot devices are not
automatically searched.

	pname -a -c0 -s0 "Usr" (use the actual name you gave it)
	mkfs /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0  (and fsck, etc.)
	mount /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 /mnt

ought to work.
