First, you need a generic SCSI driver which can find and allocate a device
for your changer. Solaris 8 has "sgen" built in, but with Solaris 2.6
you'll need SST or something like that.
Second, acquire and compile mtx-1.2.9. By the time you get this all done,
I'll have posted my update to chg-mtx, so that you can use the system.
FYI: chg-mtx doesn't use changer.conf, regardless of the comments of
someone else on the list. He's confused.
