Redoing Second RZ55 on 3100

I have two RZ55's on a DECstation 3100. While mucking around with
the system commands, I noticed that my two drives have the same configuration
(using CHPT -Q command):
partition bottom top
a 0 32767
b 32768 163839
g 163840 649039
On the first drive (/dev/rz1* devices), the b partition is used for swapping,
apparently. However, serious sifting through the manuals seems to indicate
that the second drive's b partition isn't being used (this makes sense).
So, I would like to recover that space to make a new filesystem for use
for files (that's alot of disk space missing!). This is where the manuals
get clear as mud. My impression is that the following command would do
it, but I'm not willing to try it until someone else says "yeah, that's
it" (can *you* say "Jeff, Dead Systems Administrator"...? I knew you could...).
newfs -v -n /dev/rrz3b rz55
Or am I way off? Thanks for any help you can give...
