Hi,

You can run

#rmformat

to find your external USB hard drive. e.g.
1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0
Physical Node: /pci at 0,0/pci1028,179 at 1d,7/storage at 8/disk at 0,0
Connected Device: HITACHI_ DK23EA-60 00K2
Device Type: Removable
Bus: USB
Size: 57.2 GB
Label: <None>
Access permissions:

Then if it is not mounted automatically you can do like:
#mount -F pcfs /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0:c /mnt

Thanks
