Just in case someone who mucks about w/ this is following the list.
Format(1m) has improved from Solaris 10 u8 in that it recognizes hard drives
connected via USB. However, it does not acknowledge flash drives.
While they are not equal in terms of performance from my experience, it would
be nice if USB mass storage devices were treated in a consistent manner.
NB:
c1t0d0p0 is an empty SD card slot.
c2t0d0p0 is an USB hard drive
c3d1 is an internal SATA drive
c4t0d0p0 is an USB flash drive

Please don't think I'm complaining. I'm very grateful for all the work being
done on OI/Illumos. I just thought it worth noting.
