During boot, Solaris checks for the existence of a file called “reconfigure” in the root directory. If you touch this file, the /dev tree is rebuilt at the next reboot. This works on hard drives, network cards etc. It is very likely that you will need to do more configuration once you’ve done a reconfigure, ie. it doesn’t handle the actual configuration of the hardware, just the detection of it. michael@wells.org.
