That was "lshal --monitor" and "dbus-monitor --system" on a recent BE.
Both of those commands produced no output.  I know they work because I
tried both of them on another system that was booted back to an older
BE.  There, both of them produced copious output, just as the support
document showed.

Here's what I saw on insertion of a USB stick:

Note that the messages show only "sd9" as the disk device name.  This
is the old-style name, one that is no longer used.  /dev/sd9 does not
exist.  The "rmformat" command show the device name as:
/dev/rdsk/c8t0d0p0 .  It does exist, as does the block device:
/dev/dsk/c8t0d0p0 .

As far as I can tell, "dbus" sends messages to "hal" about the state
of devices on the system.  However, for insertion of USB sticks, this
does not happen.  I don't know why it doesn't happen.
