Nope, didn't show up as /dev/sd[X] (insert your favorite letter for X)
Nor does fdisk -l show it.  Very frustrating.  I'm trying to back up all
of the images in order to rebuild the box as an ESXi 3.5U4 box.

It should just show up as /dev/sdX (a, b, ...)

Does "fdisk -l" show it?  (that's a lowercase L, not a 1)

Your internal disks will show up as /dev/cciss/cXdY (0, 1, ...) devices.
