Without checking source code, I think SCSI id's 0 through 4 are the
only supported ones for disks.  If rz5 and rz6 show up during the boot
messages, then you should just be able to:

	# cd /dev
	# ./MAKEDEV rz5 rz6

before running sysinst to use them (you may need to make your root
filesystem writeable before doing this - "mount -u /dev/rzXa /" should
do the trick).  If they don't show up, you'll have to change the SCSI
id's on your disks.
