The device special files were there, but only those for the partitions 
and not for the whole drive. format could see the drive  as c6t1d0 but 
it must be able to access the raw device to get drive info and to to 
format, bad block and label.

As for what you know, will be looking further. Falling back to linux 
seems like cheating somehow...
