Kernel config includes both wdc0 and wdc1, but as both disks have been
connected to wdc0, I don't think kernel config could be the problem.
The first disk (master, 1.6 GB) is visible and functioning, the second disk
(slave, 6.4 GB) isn't visible (I get "device not configured" when trying to
disklabel wd1c).  Here's the dmesg output (part of it):

I was supposed to label and format this disk before it's installed into
a critical production machine, but...

Thanks,
