That's how I actually did some of my installs, manually putting in the
addresses of the robot and the drives.

However, I think it is something with Solaris 8. On a comparable box running
Solaris 2.6, everything is fast - inquire, bus queries, DDS/SmartMedia
startup, etc. Trussing the DCP, nsrjb, jbconfig or nsrmmd processes yield:

6208:   open("/devices/pseudo/devinfo@0:devinfo", O_RDONLY) = x
6208:   ioctl(x, 0xDF82, 0x00000000)                    = 57311

I've already done a number of tweaks to lus.conf ... to no avail. Sunsolve
mentions a similar bug (:4522069):

%2F4522069&zone_32=jbconfig%20takes%20a%20long%20time

Take Note:
This is NETWORKER DDS / OR NETWORKER w/ SMARTMEDIA on SOLARIS 8 boxen.

Thanks!
