The answer is that the installations of DiskSuite and Veritas cause
forceload
entries to be placed in the /etc/system file. These entries are for the
purpose
of loading modules that will be used by the DiskSuite or Veritas
software.
The modules cover things like hotsparing, mirroring, RAID-5, etc. Any
of
the modules that are not used will cause the output of a warning when
the
system attempts to load them during bootup. If these warnings are
bothersome
to the sys-admin that sees them, they can be stopped by commenting out
the
offending lines in the /etc/system file. The attempt to forceload the
modules,
however, is completely harmless.
I'd like to thank, specifically, the following for there replies:
