Does anyone know if it is possible to install Solaris x86 on a PCI
system using the Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller? The install program
doesn't seem to recognize the 2940 -- and it's not in the last
HW compatibilitiy list I've seen. Does anyone know of a workaround,
or future plans for supporting this card?

Thanks

Sun released the driver update 4, which has the 2940 driver
among other things.
You can get it on their ftp site or off the Compuserve forum.

You need driver update 4 or later.

The solaris FAQ says:

3.29) Where can I obtain Solaris 2/x86 driver updates?

The Solaris x86 driver updates can be obtained by anonymous ftp from:

ftp.uu.net:/vendor/sun/sun-doc/x-86-driver

Get driver update 4. It contains the driver for the 2940.
