With my recent putback for:

6486493 sata framework does not work correctly with ZFS boot or
jumpstarted SVM root mirros

you may see any of the following warning messsages when you reboot your
system if any of the SATA HBA drivers (nv_sata, ahci, si3124 or marvell88sx)
are not installed on your system.

   WARNING: add_spec: No major number for nv_sata
   WARNING: add_spec: No major number for ahci
   WARNING: add_spec: No major number for si3124
   WARNING: add_spec: No major number for marvell88sx

This may happen if you had been updating your system using bfu (and never
ran add_drv on these drivers) or you had removed these driver packages
manually. You can safely ignore these warning messages OR you can install
the missing drivers by simply running the following command:

   /ws/onnv-gate/public/bin/update_sata

   NOTE: This update script depends on update_pkgs script which gives
   a warning message about the script being used for upgrading non ON
   packages. Please ignore that.

If you have any questions or comments on this please send an e-mail
to sata-dev at sun dot com.
