After reading through it, a few more fundamentals which appear to be missing.

1.  There's no coverage at all of the "pkg" command and package system.  
There's documentation about the pkg system elsewhere, but managing packages is 
a pretty fundamental piece of system administration which I'd expect to see in 
an admin guide.  Common operations which could really use cookbook recipes 
might be "I want X for my system- what package(s) do I need to install?", "What 
package does /usr/bin/somefile belong to?", and "What are all the files in 
package Y?".

2.  What devices are associated with the disks attached to my system?  I had to 
dig around a fair bit to find this,  and the only ways I found to get this are 
via the "format" command, or "iostat -xn 1 1".   That and additional highly 
useful bits like "devfsadm" should probably be in this.

3.  There's no coverage of fmadm & fmdump.  An introduction to what & why they 
are, as well as a troubleshooting guide covering common use and interpretation 
would be very useful.


I'm sure I'll find more bits which ought to go in here.... I'll keep looking.
