Can VP/ix "see" secondary controller DOS part.?

   I just installed an Adaptec 1542b as a secondary controller and put
a DOS partition (32 meg) and Interactive Unix 2.2 partition on it (48 meg).
The DOS parition is the first one.  I have an ST506 compliant primary
controller (Perstor card) with 2 drives attached.  The devices I use for
these two so VP/ix can see them (utilizing "dosmount") are /dev/dsk/0p1
and /dev/dsk/1p1.  

   The secondary controller naming of partitions is different as the docs
do explain (i.e. my Unix partition is named /dev/dsk/c1d0s5).  However, 
I could not find a mention by ISC as to whether I can do this or not.  If I 
can, then it looks like I need to use "mknod" to create the proper major and 
minor number of the device (DOS partition).  Could some kind soul please 
explain how to do it?  Thanks!
