I wanted you to describe the solution, not how to install Solaris! You continue asserting that there is some solution to the device numbering problem (although most other people believe that the problem is unsolvable) and when asked for the solution, you keep pointing in random directions. So either show a proof (and shouting that some random OS and that everybody else should install to find out, is not a proof), or shut up and admit that you are wrong. Also, you still forget to state any valid reason why SCSI-like devices should be referred to in a way different from all other devices, which traditionally use names of special files.
