Now I'm getting somewhere ...

when I tried to install the patch, it told me that the SUNWqus[x] and SUNQqusu[x] packages were required. When I went to the site to download them, I found 2 versions of each (e.g. SUNWqus and SUNWqusx were listed). Which of the 2 versions should I use? Also, after I download, uncompress and untar them, how should they be installed? Would I also need to reboot before installing the patch, or can I do that right afterward and only reboot once?

You need to install both packages by using standard pkgadd command. See man pkgadd for more information.

After that, install the patch and reboot the system.

Hope, all goes well.

1st perform a boot -r and do a mt stat and see if the drive/tape is detected.
Just do a devfsadm -C and re-check. If problem persists, let us know the Solaris OS version
