How do you reconfigure your devices like in Solaris when you boot with
a -r at the prom> I have only one CDROM in the system and the
/dev/disk directory is showing two. We are also having trouble
mounting the cdrom. I was thinking the configuration was messed
somehow for the CDROM. I want to delete the two devices in /dev/disk
and then reboot or run some commands to scan the hardware and
reconfigure the CDROM. Sorry I only have Solaris, Irix, and Linux
experience. True 64 is new to me.

hwmgr scan scsi

and

hwmgr show scsi

are useful commands. The manpages have lots of examples. Chapter 5 of
the online systems admin manual discusses hardware. The documentation
cd ships with the OS cd's.

To view all your disks:

hwmgr view dev -cat disk

To view a hierarchy of all your hardware:

hwmgr view hier

Cheers,
Mario
