Yes, boot -r is pretty much the same as:
drvconfig
devlinks
disks
which is what I usually do when hot-configuring devices (disks in
particular) in Solaris.
>From the respective man pages:
DESCRIPTION
The default operation of drvconfig is to create the /dev-
ices directory tree that describes, in the filesystem
namespace, the hardware layout of a particular machine.
Hardware devices present on the machine and powered on as
well as pseudo-drivers are represented under /devices. Nor-
mally this command is run automatically after a new driver
has been installed (with add_drv(1M)) and the system has
been rebooted.
DESCRIPTION
devlinks creates symbolic links from the /dev directory
tree to the actual block- and character-special device nodes
under the /devices directory tree. The links are created
according to specifications found in the table-file (by
default /etc/devlink.tab).
devlinks is called each time the system is
reconfiguration-booted, and can only be run after
drvconfig(1M) is run, since drvconfig(1M) builds the kernel
data structures and the /devices tree.
DESCRIPTION
disks creates symbolic links in the /dev/dsk and
/dev/rdsk directories pointing to the actual disk device
special files under the /devices directory tree.
