[rescue] QLogic FC on Solaris 10

I have a Qlogic FC card in an E250. I thought it was a QLA2200, but
I suppose it may possibly be a QLA2100. Still, I'm pretty sure it is
a QLA2200.
So, previously under Solaris 9 I think that, prtdiag showed an entry
for this card, but it didn't identify it as what it was. I didn't
note the exact line. I figured that it needed a driver, and since I
was planning to anyway, I went and reinstalled the machine to Solaris
Express (b70).
So, now, prtdiag only shows:
Bus Freq
Brd Type MHz Slot Name Model
--- ---- ---- ---- --------------------------------
----------------------
SYS PCI 66 3 ethernet-ethernet
Which is my SysKonnect GigE card. No sign of the QLA.
I have installed the SUNWqlc package, and then did a boot -r, and
that makes no change to prtdiag.
So, I'm wondering if there is any sort of easy way, short of
deracking the machine, to confirm that I have the 2200 instead of the
2100.
Depressingly, prtconf -pv | grep 1077 doesn't show anything.
Also, assuming I'm correct, what do I need to look at next? I'm not
expecting this machine to boot from the Qlogic card. I just want to
use a few external disks. Am I likely to have to reflash this card?
