YES.
HAL != GNOME

Likewise

Whats more HAL and DBUS are both delivered from ONNV not any desktop layer.
They were added by the Tamarack project:
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/tamarack/hal_and_dbus.txt
The Tamarack project even provided a removable media manager using
HAL/DBUS that doesn't require any desktop system.
If so, then it is less useful as a generic API for CLI access, IMO.
I wouldn't have suggested it if it depended on any GUI system :-)
