How?  I've looked at the entries in the kernel config files, and tried
adding an entry for the second controller to /etc/conf/sdevice.d/hd, but
when I run idbuild, it says "Only one specification of device 'hd'
allowed".

If its possible to use a second MFM controller with Esix I'd like to know
how to do it --- I have a second controller I modified when I was using
a Xenix system.
