Hi Earl,
 	D'oh, you're likely hitting another bug. Do you have Adaptec SCSI 
controllers? If you do, you're likely hitting: 
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=158. Unfortunately, due 
to redistribution issues and the goals of the Indiana release to be fully 
redistributable we can't ship the Adaptec drivers at this time, but if you 
feel like making your own distro off Indiana, the bug lists which packages 
have the necessary drivers.
 								Thank you,
 								Clay
