boot -r
to install a cartridge tape drive on a Classic running Solaris 2.2.
I was expecting to address the device as /dev/rmt/0* but it turned out
to be /dev/rmt/1*. Why? Are there any "rules" as the the device
numbers chosen? (The scsi target is 4).

1. Using major/minor device numbers to determine SCSI or ATAPI CD-ROM drives
In cdparanoia on GNU/Linux there either this brilliant idea or hack to
determine if a drive is ATAPI or SCSI by looking at the device major
and minor number. Is this also appropriate or valid
on Solaris?
Thanks.
