After next fresh Solaris installation I've tried to
 reproduce procedure suggested by Dmitry Vayntrub,
 view:-

  http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/systems/details/1742.html

  Note that procedure suggested for Intel SE7520BD2  board 
 Tested negative on ASUS P5B Deluxe.
 1. # prtconf -pv to find out:-
 vendor-id: 11ab
 device-id: 4364
 for successfull run "update_drv"
 2. # pkgadd -d . SKGEsolx
 After failure of postinstallation script,wich
 doesn't contain valid PCI parameters in add_drv
 parameters list
 what causes failure to attach driver to system,
 proceed:-
 # update_drv -a -i '"pci11ab,4364"' skge
 # reboot -- -r
Box went smoothly through "reconfiguration reboot".
"Transitional reboot" option from GRUB Menu was selected.
During reboot interface skge0 was plumbed and brought up.
System came up clean.But character special oriented device
1. /devices/pci.../.../../...:skge0 has not been created
2. Symlink /dev/skge0 to this device has not been created.
Regardless "igconfig -a" looked fine. Box was unreachable from local network.
File /etc/path_to_inst contained exactly one entry of string ' "0" skge '
I believe, that OS is supposed to create device and and symlink /dev/skge0
to this device based on entry into /etc/path_to_inst .
My question:-
Is there any way  to create mannualy a proper
character special oriented device based on entry into /etc/path_to_inst
for skge0 ? 
I guess major and minor number should be known and probably
some other configuration files might be involved
