Once you know exactly what the target/lun setup for the changer is
(you *really* need documentation), you can proceed.

In any case, you should do:

    setenv auto-boot? false
    reset-all
    probe-scsi-all
    setenv auto-boot? true

It is either two targets, or one target with 2 luns.

On Solaris 8, you'll need to configure the sgen driver for the robot.
In the mtx distribution, see contrib/config_sgen_solaris.sh.  Do not
just run the script please (there's a cvs command that will fail,
and you may need lun!=0), read and understand first.

You'll end up with a device like: /dev/scsi/changer/cNtMd0, that's
what you point mtx (or chg-scsi, I suppose) at.
