I don't believe this is an amanda problem, but a solaris kernel 
problem.  Unforch, I'll leave the definitive solaris answers to 
Jon.

If its anything like linux, then you should find the correct device 
in the /var/log/dmesg (or whatever solaris calls it) file. If its 
not there, the next question is, is solaris doing a 'scan all luns' 
on boot, I believe it must in order to find the changer robot since 
many of them are located at the same bus address as the drive 
itself, but at a higher Logical Unit Number, aka 'lun'.  For a 
linux kernel, this must be turned on in the kernel config and the 
kernel rebuilt as it doesn't default to on.
