Any advice as to how I proceed with installation and avoid repartitioning
the second disk?
      

As quick hack, try unplug physicaly dka down from SCSI bus !
    

Just tried that.  It still claims it cannot "read" the disk.  Sergey 
recommended that I boot in rescue mode and try to mount it manually.  This 
works fine, as I expected.

Why is the installer not happy with the disk?  
  

I am not sure. I didn't have problem of installing AC (but it was my internal iso set) on the second disk, with first disk having
OpenVMS installed.
I would check a boot log to see were the partitions of the second disk recognized at boot time. It should happen right after the scsi driver is loaded. Do you have access at shell prompt at this time? If you have - would you run fdisk in it and see if it can find anything unusual with your partition table.

Thanks,
