1. What's the /etc/vfstab entry for the Sun 5.4 SCSI.
2. Did you do boot -r on the Solaris 7 bos to make sure it makes the
major and minor device entries in /dev.
3. I'm not sure if the file systems are 100% compatible since v7 is a
64 bit filesystem and 2.5 is the last 32 bit version. Also, are we
possibly running in to a byte swaping issue here?
