Thanks to all who replied, you know who you are...
I got three basic responses:
#1 use iostat -En to get the drive serial # and find the matching Serial#
on the drive. This worked just fine for me.
#2 use dd to either read data from or write data to the drive and watch
for the blinkin' & flashin'. This also worked for me.
#3 use format -> [drive] -> analyze -> read -> yes to geneerate the
blinkin' & flashin'. This worked really well, practically turned the LED
off with all the activity.
A number of people also sent me drive to slot mappings, which might have
worked had sun assembled the box ;)
And for those who are wondering, out of idle curiosity, it was drive 14.
