The raw devices are /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s#. c# is for the contoller, t# is the target id, d# I've always seen it as 0, s# the slice (s2 refers to the whole disk). /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s# are links, so if you want to use other links you have to point them to the same place /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s# is pointing. I hope this helps!
