Hi. 
I've _finally_ gotten the hardware I've needed to get working on the
OpenIndiana systems and documentation I wanted to start 3 or 4 months
ago. (The Canada Post strike couldn't have come at a worse time.) 
Right off the bat, these documents
https://dlc.openindiana.org/docs/osol/20090715/SYSADV1/html/smcover-1.html
[1] and 
https://dlc.openindiana.org/docs/osol/20090715/SYSADV1/html/smcover-3.html
[2] etc. 
are all about SMC, which, I gather, is not part of our tool kit. (Note
the date of these docs.) 
So, I'll probably start by trying to replace these pages with
step-by-step instructions, if that is OK with people. 
I'll try to keep the language neutral, like the original. This won't
happen quickly, but as I can. And, I'll need to hand-code it all, or is
there a preferred system/toolchain? It's been ages since I worked on
this last. (That was before Oracle bought Sun... Again, note the dates.)

Who should I submit the new pages/work to? 
If someone is already working on this, I'm happy to take this discussion
off-line. And, is this cool with people?

PS My main test systems still don't like USB HDD.
