Just for future use, it's often possible to reload 'st' without a
reboot.
Unlike the 'sd' driver, you can probably stop using the 'st' driver for
a minute (any time no drives are in use or "open" in an application).
If so, use 'modinfo' to find the id of the 'st' driver, then use
'modunload -i <id>' to unload it. After that, simply accessing a device
will reload the driver, and it will reread the st.conf at that time.
On more recent versions of Solaris you may be able to use 'update_drv'
instead, but the above will work on older versions as well.
