Brian,
If you do a prtconf -D and look under pcic and pcs you will see
something like below.
This one is an Adaptec 1469 card.
pci1179,ff10, instance #0 (driver name: pcic)
pcs, instance #0 (driver name: pcs)
pccard12f,2
The fact that you see this rather then a (driver name: xxx) means that
either there is no driver
for that card or there is no driver_aliases file entry to assoiate a
driver to this card.
As you can see I'm in the same boat as there are no PCMCIA scsi card
drivers included
in Solaris currently. I've haven't found any any where else either.

My comments are inline:
Firstly, does it show up in the output of
# cfgadm -lav
No, not that I can distinguish. I only see a bunch of empty
unavailable usb devices, such as:
When Type Busy Phys_Id
usb0/1 empty unconfigured ok
unavailable unknown n /devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1025,[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:1
...
usb2/8 empty unconfigured ok
unavailable unknown n /devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1025,[EMAIL
PROTECTED],2:8
This is kinda what I was expecting, unfortunately.
....
modunload st and run "devfsadm -i st".
devfsadm -i doesn't work it wants the numeric ID instead of the st
symbolic. I used modinfo to find it:
Id Loadaddr Size Info Rev Module Name
185 f9801000 12350 129 1 st (SCSI tape Driver 1.257)
Now that is quite weird. I've never had devfsadm tell me that
I can't give it a module name. Modunload, sure ... but not
devfsadm. Perhaps you typed the wrong thing?
You should be able to see in /var/adm/messages
whether there
are any tape drive instances discovered - look for
"st[0-9]"
in the messages file, or the kernel msgbuf.
No I don't see it in /var/adm/messages or the output of dmesg,
but something is telling the tape drive to reset when I boot
the computer.
/me thwaps forehead....
Brian, I should have asked you for prtconf -v output from
this system - we haven't checked whether your scsi hba is
actually supported. I reckon it probably isn't, but you'll
have to send me that prtconf output to confirm.
As to "why does my tape drive reset on host power-cycle?"
the answer is "because that's what the SCSI standard requires.
cheers,
