Many bumbling attempts to mount produce no such device|file|address or:
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /mnt/usbjump
mount: /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 is already mounted, /mnt/usbjump is busy,
or allowable number of mount points exceeded
This is w/or w/out volume management running.
Totally clueless, any thoughts?

"lexar" flash memory devices do not seem to work very well (work at all?)
with the Solaris USB mass storage kernel modules:

First try a simple read command, to verify the OS is able to access
the device:
time dd if=/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0 count=100 of=/dev/null
This should read 100 blocks from the device, without errors. The dd
command shouldn't take more than a second. If the above 'dd' command
prints any error message, there's no need to try any mount command -
they'll fail, too.
Btw. your mount command assumes that the device is formatted like a
"floppy", that is, the media does not use an fdisk partition table.
Some (but not all) usb flash memory devices are formatted that way.
Most are formatted *with* and fdisk partition table (like a ZIP
device, or a HDD); the mount command in this case is
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /mnt/usbjump

# time dd if=/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0 count=100 of=/dev/null

Tried that already (somewhere in the bumbling). The Lexar _does_ seem
to be formatted like an HDD, since that is how it shows up in the boot
menu. Just for the record, the dd and an attempted mount as above produced:

Oh well :( I don't really need this often, but I had hoped to get
it working to complete my R40 Solaris/Linux page. On the bright
side, I _did_ get the Centrino wifi running in Linux. Anything
like ndiswrapper for Solaris?
Thanks for your time and expertise.
