lisa% uname -a 
SunOS lisa 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc

(it is actually Windows 7 RC)

lisa% grep Vista /etc/vfstab

lisa% df -k | grep Vista

(the "100%" reminds you it is read-only support).

lisa% ls /mnt/Vista

Get the necessary packages from 
http://www.belenix.org/distributions/belenix_site/binfiles/FSWfsmisc.tar.gz and 
http://www.belenix.org/distributions/belenix_site/binfiles/FSWpart.tar.gz 

Install them, then:- 

lisa% pfexec /usr/bin/prtpart 

Fdisk information for device /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0

Block Size : 512 bytes
Controller : pciclass,010601
Disk       : sd
Capacity   : 93 GB
 
#  start block  # nblocks    startCylSecHd endCylSecHd   OSType

p0 is the whole disk, p[1..4] - the four possible primary partitions, hence the 
entry in the
/etc/vfstab file.

Agreed (in your case - chicken-and-egg problem; on my laptop I have wireless, 
which works out of the box). 

BTW I also have {BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX} on my laptop and it works just fine 
with the driver from http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ .
