support != working.

I'm running an Emulex LP9802 FC-Adapter with Emulex firmware with no
problems. You have to use the Sun device driver though (emlxs instead of
lpfc).

So edit the file manually before rebooting. Don't select "Automatic reboot"
during installation. At the end of the installation drop to a shell
prompt and edit /a/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf.

stmsboot is just a shell script. You should be able to the necessary
configuration changes manually.
