| Change the HBA driver name to auto in /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi and
| relink/reboot.



Auto lets the kernel try all the adapter drivers that you have linked
into it.  If the kernel still only has the one old driver, you'll
accomplish nothing.














You also need to link in the other driver(s) you might want to use.
