The most popular suggestion was to copy /kernel/drv/sd.conf from old system to new. This had no effect - even though the contents were different The solution that worked was suggested by himanshukhona - run devfsadm. # devfsadm -C -v -c disk It made a number of changes to the device tree after which format could see the missing A1000 again (though at a different location than the Sol5.6 system.)
