I wanted to add the following..
When running cfgadm -l I get:
Ap_Id                          Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
Sata1/0                        disk         connected    unconfigured unknown
Sata1/1                        disk         connected    unconfigured unknown
Sata1/2                        sata-port    empty        unconfigured ok

Which tells me that it can see the hard drive.  When typing 'format', I get "No 
disks found!"

Did you run 'devfsadm -c disk', or 'reboot -- -r' after installing the
driver? Either would be needed to create device links for the disks.
There should also be messages in dmesg (or /var/adm/messages) when the
driver is loaded.
