Again, thanks for helping on issue: Jon (and Jay) suggested In order to try and find my "lost" (I wish) robot, that I should try: a) modifying the sgen.conf driver to add support b) checking the other SCSI logical units.(re-editing /dev/st.conf) and reboot -r (or devfsadm) to see if it finds anything else.
Nope. I (still) dont have a /dev/scsi/changer (or sequential). Nope, I did have it check, and no other (unfound) units found... ugh. --original response > > (duh. running solaris 5.8) > > I dont see a device in /dev/rmt...

Mine showed up in /dev/scsi/sequential rather than changer. You might also edit st.conf to examine other lun's besides 0 (only 0 is scanned in the default file). My drive also adds /dev/rmt devices for the changer at higher lun numbers but the same scsi id.
