Ok that produced the same result. This is what happened with the 32 bit 'mh'
driver (recorded in /var/adm/messages):

May 24 20:58:36 jedi swapgeneric: [ID 370176 kern.warning] WARNING: forceload of drv/mh failed
May 24 20:58:40 jedi genunix: [ID 197085 kern.warning] WARNING: mod_installdrv: no major number for mh
May 24 20:58:40 jedi mh: [ID 809075 kern.warning] WARNING: MAGMA: _init mod_install error=6.

The same thing happened when I tried the 64 bit 'mh64' driver this morning:

May 25 08:18:31 jedi swapgeneric: [ID 370176 kern.warning] WARNING: forceload of drv/mh64 failed
May 25 08:18:35 jedi genunix: [ID 197085 kern.warning] WARNING: mod_installdrv: no major number for mh64
May 25 08:18:35 jedi mh64: [ID 809075 kern.warning] WARNING: MAGMA: _init mod_install error=6.

I don't know if this is connected, but the /etc/name_to_major file doesn't
show a major number for the mh driver, but that might be due to the
'forceload' action failing?

I might try modifying /etc/system again to use "forceload: drv/sparcv9/mh"
just in case that's the problem. That file btw is the same as the
/kernel/drv/mh64 file, but I presume to the kernel it's handled a bit
differently when loaded from /kernel/drv as opposed to from
/kernel/drv/sparcv9?

The 'postinstall' script supplied with the driver package doesn't do
anything with /etc/name_to_major but it does edit some other files and all
those modifications (to /etc/devlink.tab, /etc/system, /etc/iu.ap,
/etc/minor_perm, and /etc/path_to_inst) are all ok as far as I can tell.
