I may need that too. I was thinking last night that putting drivers 
under /usr/kernel probably isn't enough since files such as 
/etc/name_to_major will still be modified and thus cause a boot-archive 
mismatch if the driver crashes.
The scheme I think *may* work is to add_drv -n the driver, then bootadm 
update_archive, then devfsadm to load the driver and create the /dev 
nodes. I'll continue to experiment. The problem may yet be a reconfigure 
reboot causing a crash on startup. What I really want is the ability to 
one-shot load a driver such that it does not permanently modify any 
files and will be forgotten about on reboot... perhaps I can do this by 
snapshotting my boot archive an always using this to boot from?
