Summary - Partial Sunfire V880 Dynamic Misconfiguration Problem

No responses but I have progressed slightly. I probably should not have 
disconnected
the SCSI channels c2 and c3. Once I reconnected them I was able to unconfigure
and disconnect pcisch0:hpc1_slot0 (the X6541A - mult/hp). I still have both the
"Attention Left Side" light displaying and the "OK to remove" front panel 
LED lit.
I figure at this time that the only way to get rid of these is by manual 
intervention,
unless someone has any other ideas.
