 Gary,

Thanks. That's *very* nteresting. I shall have to study that closely. 

I ran "truss -f -o truss.out format -e /dev/rdsk/c4d0"

down at the end of a *very* long output is this tidbit. Note the ENOENTs. The libraries being sought are in /lib and were found previously. I'm rather puzzled that with the device specified on the command line, format(1m) walked the entire /dev/rdsk tree and then some including sections of the filesysem I'd never heard of.

At present I'm trying to sort out how to fix access to the libraries. /mnt/misc is a RO filesystem mounted from the DVD, so the obvious solution is not possible. This machine only has 8 GB of RAM so I might not be able to create a copy of /mnt/misc in ramfs, but I'll give it a try.

I'm unclear about the relationship of c4d0, c4d0p0, etc. I can R/W /dev/rdsk/c4d0p0:c but not without the ":c"

ACHI+RAID does work with Solaris and OI, but you have to do some
preparation first.  I know because I have done that with my Z400
and installed OI on it.  The instructions are here:
