Thank-you. I thought of that and did the research trying to find what service would provide the kstat kernel variable ... no luck. It's inode_cache, so I would've thought anything to do withe the file system would work.
I hoped making my service depend on every freaking SMF milestone would do the job - no luck.
What I finally did was change the program of my service to sleep for 10 seconds - it gives SMF the illusion it is up and running while SMF starts-up other services. By the time my service wakes up again, the system is actually ready for it.
A hack job yes, but better than the hours I have already put in trying to solve a simple problem.
SMF may be an improvement, but taking away the ability to simply say I want my service to start last (as much as it can), is too much.
