Yes, the standard (GENERIC) kernel on your IPX is probably configured
to recognize only SCSI targets with LUN=0 i.e.:

scsibus0 at esp				# declare first scsi bus
disk sd0 at scsibus0 target 3 lun 0	# first hard SCSI disk
disk sd1 at scsibus0 target 1 lun 0	# second hard SCSI disk
disk sd2 at scsibus0 target 2 lun 0	# third hard SCSI disk
disk sd3 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0	# fourth hard SCSI disk
...

You should build a new SunOS kernel with something like the
following added to the config file.  (Copy GENERIC to CALLANAN
and add these lines to the scsibus0 section)

disk sd8 at scsibus0 target 4 lun 0	# my old shoebox
disk sd9 at scsibus0 target 4 lun 1	# my old shoebox
