Issue Description: 
In reference to BugId# 4141207 "No support for A1000 on Solaris 2.7". 
The following symptoms may be encountered:
 
The driver succeeds in attaching but the lun devices for A1000 under 
/dev/rdsk are not mapped to pseudo/rdnexus@3/rdriver@5,4:a,raw
as expected. 

Abbreviated "Sample" Error message shown below:

During Lun creation (A1000):

          corrupt label - bad geometry

Corrective Action: 
PatchId 106552-02 provides the drivers and other pieces necessary to 
support Solaris 7 in either 32bit or 64bit mode.  The patch requires  
RM6.1.1 Update 1 be installed first.  Note that user's should save their
/etc/path_to_inst file before removing previous RM 6 versions and then
restore it after installing RM 6.1.1 Update 1.  Users should also pre-
serve their /kernel/drv/sd.conf file before upgrading.

PatchId 106552-02 also requires patch 106513-01 to be installed.  See  
the patch README for all the installation instructions.  The recommend-  
ed sequence is to install patch 106552-02 and its prerequisites while  
still running under Solaris 2.6 or 2.5.1 and then upgrade to Solaris 7.
