actually, it has nothing to do with Sun, it has to do with SCA.  which, after
you've used it for a while and get used to how it works, you REALLLY start to
love it.  i think SCA rules.

yup, this is an issue of the hardware you are trying to use.  plug an "old
fashioned" SCSI chain into the back of the box and you're back in your home
territory.
