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).

Can anybody from Apple explain WHY these devices are not present?  I had
the same problem when I installed from CD-ROM to an external disk at
SCSI 5 (except that /dev/dsk/c5d0s3 was missing and /dev/dsk/c0d0s3
was present).
