What I forgot was mention that as MR Leonard Sitongia guessed the machine was
indeed Solaris 2.4 . I also didn't mention that the three packages were
installed as I checked using pkginfo just like the book says.
I didn't reinstall the packages.
What I finally did was cd to /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWappr and invoked the post
install script which created the device nodes as required.
