Gary,
OK I'll give that a whirl. I've got 2019.04 on a USB so I'll try that first.
2017.10 is on a DVD.
I checked my 6 slot Z400 and it reports the same PCI info as the 4 slot
machines. So I think there is more to it than we know about.
I use a bound composition book for my admin notes, but I never seem to have
recorded enough detail :-( It does have the virtue of I know where they are,
but that's about it.
I'm busy all day tomorrow so I won't be able to get on this probably until
Friday, unless I happen to wake up very early. I've used the beadm stuff a few
times, but it was a long time ago so I'm really not competent on that at the
moment. I know what it does and why, but that's about all.
Thanks,
Reg

I found my notes. They were from Febuary 2018. Here they are, in
point form:
o Changed controller to AHCI+RAID in BIOS
o Booted OI hipster-20171031 USB stick
o Started a shell window
o Got a root shell with `sudo ksh'
o Found `RAID controller' in `prtconf -v' output
o Ran: update_drv -a -i 'pci8086,2822.103c.1309.0' ahci
o Added line to driver_aliases:
ahci "pci8086,2822.103c.1309.0"
o Ran the installer
o Checked new BE:
# mkdir /tmp/a
# beadm mount openindiana /tmp/a
# wc -l /tmp/a/etc/driver_aliases /etc/driver_aliases
1772 /tmp/a/etc/driver_aliases
1772 /etc/driver_aliases
o Files were the same
o Rebuild the boot archive:
# bootadm update-archive -v -R /tmp/a
o No output
o Umount:
# beadm unmount openindiana
o Rebooted from the installer GUI
o Normal boot of new BE
