On Solaris, generic 32-bit kernel modules (drivers) go under /kernel/drv/; 64-bit kernel modules go under /kernel/drv/amd64/ or /kernel/drv/sparcv9/ kernel module .conf file *always* go under /kernel/drv/, *regardless* of whether the module is 32- or 64-bit. Finally, CPU or achitecture specific kernel drivers/modules go under /platform/`uname -i`/kernel/drv/. > - should we use SMF to load the modules (maybe using > /etc/default/zaptel ?) and run ztcfg? Absolutely. > - is using forceload in /etc/system discouraged for > this sort of thing? Depends on the design. Ideally, Solaris will see a card plugged into the PCI slot, and will load the drivers appropriately, dynamically as/when needed. This also implies that the driver design needs a bit more intelligence to play along with this scheme. One would need to experiment more to see how these drivers currently behave in such a scenario.
