Thanks - that seems to agree with what the book tells me too, although I
have to say it's not entirely clear about it.  There ought to be a big
warning "Don't do a boot -r when you plug in the library".

Does anyone know how to remove library and drive devices from Solaris?  Is
there a way that doesn't involve physically unplugging the SCSI cable?  My
server is in a remote location, with nobody onsite able to help.
