What do you mean "create manually"? Normally just a 'boot -r' or a
'devfsadm' should be sufficient.

Assuming the drives at 4 and 5 were the "old" ones, this looks okay.

Uh, yes, same devices, same drives...

No. I would expect 2cbn and 3cbn (representing the next two numbers)
would point there.

Why do you think the four links you listed would point to 4 different
drives? The numeric portion is which drive, and the letters specify
options (like initial density setting). By picking only 2 numbers, I
would only expect to see 2 drives.
What does 'ls -l /dev/rmt/*cbn' return?
