I have not located a copy of SUNWldm or the drd, but by destroying one of 
the domains and recreating it with a fuller set of SBs I have managed to 
get things rolling. I'd very much like to find SUNWldm if I could, 
however.

The Sol10 install definitely knew it was installing onto an E10k and 
installed some E10k specific things - but SUNWldm for the E10k appears not 
to be part of the standard install.

I have added/removed boards on a SunFire 6800, which is a couple 
generations along, and it works on a standard Solaris install, so I think 
perhaps they moved away from ldm to something else that is _now_ core to 
Solaris.

I didn't think to check to see if it might be on the Sol9 discs - I only 
checked Sol10, which is what I have installed and running on the E10k at 
present. That's a good thought, thanks Jonathan.
