Does anybody know when XXattach will be called in Solaris system?

As we know, we define _init, xxattach, xxproble routine when we write
device driver in Solaris system. But I found when I use add_drv or
modinstall, xxattach has not been called. Only when I call open()
function in my process, xxattach will be called. I cannot found any
hint in manpage, can anyone can tell us why? BTW, the driver I'm
designing is a pseudo driver. does the difference exist between pseudo
driver and real device driver?
