For a changer device on LUN 1 you need to edit the Solaris's generic SCSI
driver  /kernel/drv/sgen.conf. This works fine, did some tests with mtx.

I was just more wondering what are the criterias to choose between chg-scsi
or chg-zd-mtx...

chg-scsi which seems to be right at home with a drive at lun0/robot
at lun1 setup, is running one of the many variations of Seagate
4586 changers just fine here.  This is the one that has either a 4
tape or a 12 tape(the drawer stays open and the magazine runs up
and down the front of the computer) arranged so the tapes are
horizontal.  The drive is /dev/nst0, the robot is /dev/sg1.

If this was linux, You'd have to build a kernel with the scsi option
'scan all luns' turned on else the robot won't be found.  Its not
on by default.  I don't know about solaris though.
