I always figured that machines with internal FC disks (e.g., Sunfire 
280R...) had drivers for those interfaces directly inside the kernel. 
OFW knows about them, obviously, at least enough to load a kernel off of 
them...

Am I wrong about the location of those basic FC drivers?  Would love to 
know, actually.
