hi jerry, i've been using an ex17 autoloader under various version of solaris (2.6 and 8) for the past 3 years. you WILL need to modify /kernel/drv/sgen.conf so that the device will be recognized, you basically need to add the following lines: device-type-config-list=changer; name=sgen

comment all lines in sgen.conf with the exception of device-type-config-list=changer; name=sgen class=scsi target=0 lun=0; then unload the module and run devsfadm again. if devfsadm didn't error with failed to attach then is should create the device files. i'm guessing it's not there due to
