Already sent this to Josh but thought you guys might want this for an 
FYI. Not gonna guarantee this for all Solaris boxes, after all Solaris 
is Broken...  Worked for me tho.

-Insert device into usb

-open a console
     type dmesg at the console
     look for something with usb at the end of the output
     eg: /pci at 1f,0/usb at c,3
     the @c is important later

-ls -l /dev/dsk/ | grep usb at c,3  (or grep for the output from above that 
you got)
     get the device name
     eg: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s?  you will get a full device listing s0-s7

-mount the device (this is where the @c is important)
     mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0:c /<mnt_point>

Done
