I must not be running devfs. I performed the following:

echo "add device range=devno-2536" >> /proc/dasd/devices

I then did 

cat /proc/dasd/devices | grep 2536 

to get
2536(ECKD) at ( 94:  8) is dasdc      : active at blocksize: 4096, 601020 
blocks, 2347 MB

from there I substitued dasdc as follows:

dasdfmt ?v ?f /dev/dasdc ?d cdl ?l LNX003 ?b 4096 ?p
fdasd /dev/dasdc
mkreiserfs /dev/dasdc1
mkreiserfs /dev/dasdc2

This has all worked and I appreicate everyone's patience. Some final 
questions:

Was this the correct procedure?
Someone mentioned using the lsof command to display users of files. This 
command does not appear to be valid with Reiserfs. Is that correct?

Thanks.
