I made what can be politely termed a 'boo-boo'.
I have a Sun-Fire V880 with two Sun-branded Qlogic PCI Fibre channel
HBAs (p/n X6799A), and was trying to have then use the Qlogic-supplied
QLA2200 driver rather than the default Sun-supplied qlc driver. I
apparently mis-read the installation instructions supplied by Qlogic,
and did the following
rem_drv qlc /* oops */
add_drv -c scsi -i '"pci1077,2200"' -n qla2200
/* The FC-AL disks dont like this vendor ID/device ID combo */
Needless to say the boot disk now doesn't boot, although it does load
the Qlogic-supplied driver now:

----------------
Short of booting the install CD, saving the user data to another disk
then doing a reinstall, is there anyway to reload the default qlc
driver? It's been a looong time since I toyed with this stuff...
Luckily this system is still not production :)
Thanks!
