Description
This document describes probe order for the Sun Fire[TM] v440.

Steps to Follow
The general probe order on the Sun Fire[TM] v440 platform is:
onboard network 0 (ce0)  	        bus 1a
slot 5  (66mhz)          		bus 1a
slot 4  (66mhz)          		bus 1b
slot 2  (66mhz)          		bus 1b
slot 0  (33mhz)          		bus 2a
slot 1  (33mhz)          		bus 2a
slot 3  (33mhz)          		bus 2a
onboard southbridge devices  	bus 2a
onboard network 1 (ce1)  		bus 2b
onboard scsi  (mpt)      		bus 2b
Caveat:
There's no hard rule for getting instance numbers under Solaris[TM]. Mainly, the cards with faster response times will be assigned instance numbers prior to the cards that have slower response times.
Fiber-based Cassini cards tend to respond first on bus probes so a fiber card in slot 5 may come up as ce0 ahead of the onboard network port.  Quad Cassini cards tend to respond last on bus probes, also messing up the "order" above.
