I installed omsa on this server, and (the webserver) does see both
controllers, their respective vdisks, and even tells me that the 5/E
should be on /dev/sdb. There was some strangeness in getting there, but
never mind that right now.

Still no sign of it in /proc/partitions, though, and when I try to fdisk
/dev/sdb, it says "unable to read /dev/sdb" - as expected of something
that isn't there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
