The most popular suggestion was to copy /kernel/drv/sd.conf from old system
to new. This had no effect - even though the contents were different
The solution that worked was suggested by himanshukhona - run devfsadm.
# devfsadm -C -v -c disk
It made a number of changes to the device tree after which format could see
the missing A1000 again (though at a different location than the Sol5.6
system.)
Thanks for all the suggestions.
