This isn't straightforward. I have code in solview (another one of my projects)
that does this, which I think was based on the way that iostat does
it. Basically,
the c#t#d#s# entries in /dev/dsk are symlinks off into the /devices tree. You
need to match those up with the entries in /etc/path_to_inst.

For example,

# ls -l /dev/dsk/c8t1d0s2
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          47 Oct 12  2009
/dev/dsk/c8t1d0s2 -> ../../devices/p...@0,0/pci108e,5...@5/d...@1,0:c

Matches the line

"/p...@0,0/pci108e,5...@5/d...@1,0" 7 "sd"

in /etc/path_to_inst, so c8t1d0 corresponds to sd7.

(One problem I have is with upgraded systems where the driver has changed,
resulting in multiple links in /dev/dsk pointing to the same place, so it isn't
a simple 1-to-1 mapping.)
