Like I said, "the drive IS detected during boot as SCSI id 2 and as an st driver tape". Solaris rebuilds /dev on each boot from devices configured in /etc/path_to_inst or from a reconfigure scan if one is specified. I've got /dev/rmt/0* listed, and the long listing of 0 points to a pci bus, a scsi controller, device 2,0.
