You need to use mknod to add these.  I don't have my manuals handy
(and I'm not running A/UX at the moment), so please double check this
before placing complete faith in my memory.  But try this:
 
  mknod /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 b 29 3
  chmod go-r /dev/dsk/c0d0s3
  chown bin /dev/dsk/c0d0s3
  chgrp bin /dev/dsk/c0d0s3
  mknod /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3 c 29 3
  chmod go-r /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3
  chown bin /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3
  chgrp bin /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3
 
Then proceed as directed in the Peripherals manual (newfs, mount, etc).
 
You will need to change all instances of "c0d0s3" to "c6d0s3", and you
will need to determine the correct major device number (29 in my example)
by doing "ls -lt /dev/dsk/c6d0s0".
