The winning answer came from Giles who stated:
I think you will find the fourth one is the only one with a CD installed.
It
is not a great piece of design from SUN but I don't think there is
anything
you can do about it, as I think it automatically configures the IDE bus as
c0 if anteing is attached. However you could disconnect the CD-ROM during
the install and connect it up after, I guess if might then appear as c1. I
would be interested to hear if there is better solution...

Device naming mismatch


Hello,

We have 4 Sun Fire V120 servers that we have a custom JumpStart script to
start them up with. These servers are configured identically, 4GB RAM,
2x36GB HD, 1 650 CPU, running OpenBoot 4.0.

Three of the four servers come up with the 2 internal drives as c0t0d0 and
c0t1d0, and our jumpstart script configures the drives and installs
Solaris. The fourth server comes up as c1t0d0 and c1t1d0.

This can't be an issue with /dev and /devices, as we're formatting the
drive before installing. How can I get the fourth to show up as c0, not
c1?

Thanks,
Tom
