Getting a tape device to work in Solaris 10

I've got an Ultra 40 I'm setting up. I added an Adaptec LVD SCSI card in
one of the PCI slots, and pluged a DLT80 drive at SCSI address into it.

This drive and card pair were working fine in Linux. But I don't seem
to have any devices in /dev/rmt/* . I've worked a bit on older SPARC
based amchines with the SUN OpenBoot firmware, and I know on those
machines, when I change hardware, I have to do a "boot -r". The Ultra
40 gas something that looks a whole lot like a PC BIOS. Do I have to do
something equivilant to boot -r on it?

If not, how can I get my device instance created for thsi tape?
