} The AT&T naming scheme (c0t0d0s0) uses the "d0" as the LUN, and "s0" as

     No.  The only way to split up a disk as of HP-UX 10.0 is to use
LVM (the Logical Volume Manager).  This is one of those fancy schemes
that allows you to resize "partitions" on the fly, split them across
spindles, etc. similar to what AIX does.  It is nice, but it can also
be a pain in the neck if you don't need it, since it is fairly complex
to administrate, compared to the conventional way of doing things.
