We have a Sun Fire V240 with one of the old dual channel Symbios
UltraSCSI controllers installed in one of the PCI bus slots. For some
reason, after Solaris 8 12/02 is installed, the Symbios controller
shows as c0 and c1, the onboard DVD-ROM is on c2, and the on-board SCSI
controller is c3 and c4. I would expect the on-board IDE controller to
be c0, and the on-board SCSI controller to be c1 and c2. This is how
our V120 behaves.

The Administration Guide mentions setting the pcia-probe-list in the
OBP, but this variable doesn't exist. I even tried updating the newest
OBP and POST images:

{1} ok .version
Release 4.11.4 created 2003/07/23 08:04
OBP 4.11.4 2003/07/23 08:04 Sun Fire V210/V240,Netra 240
OBDIAG 4.11.4 2003/07/23 08:05
POST 4.11.4 2003/07/23 11:42

but this didn't make any difference.

Is it normal for some Sun servers to behave this way? I've never seen
one that did, but I've worked mostly with smaller stuff -- V100's and
V120's, Sun Blade 100's and 150's, Ultra 1's and 5's.
