For Solaris 8 and mtx, you want to try the sgen(7D) driver for your
robot first.

You put appropriate entries in /kernel/drv/sgen.conf (it is commented empty
by default, so you *have* no devices for it yet), do an 'add_drv sgen' and
you should get device entries in /dev/scsi/changer.

The sgen.conf device-type for library robots is "changer".

In the mtx source distribution, see contrib/config_sgen_solaris.sh.  Don't
run the script (in any case, there's a CVS command in it that will fail), use
it as an example/template.
