If the desktop isn't picking up on it automatically, the cfgadm command 
is where I would start troubleshooting. Run as root, it lists all of the 
devices, ports, and occupants that the kernel is aware of.


nathan at mossflower:~$ pfexec cfgadm -la

At one time, I thought that listing included the block device too 
(c4t0d0p0), and someone more knowledgeable may be able to better say, 
but rmformat will list that:

nathan at mossflower:~$ rmformat
Looking for devices...
      1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0p0
         Physical Node: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 1f,1/ide at 0/sd at 0,0
         Connected Device: HL-DT-ST CDRW/DVD GCC4244 B103
         Device Type: CD Reader
	Bus: IDE
	Size: <Unknown>
	Label: <Unknown>
	Access permissions: <Unknown>
      2. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0
         Physical Node: /pci at 0,0/pci1028,1ad at 1d,7/storage at 7/disk at 0,0
         Connected Device: Sony     Storage Media    0100
         Device Type: Removable
	Bus: USB
	Size: 1.9 GB
	Label: <Unknown>
	Access permissions: Medium is not write protected.

So, in the most manual case, you could confirm that the occupant is 
configured with cfgadm and then mount the filesystem directly as guided 
by rmformat. All of that helps set you up for Roel and Dmitry ask (VM? 
how setup? how is it partitioned? do you have filesystem drivers?)

Hope that helps,
Nathan
