I think you are right:

Code:
# rmformat
Looking for devices...
     1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2
        Physical Node: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/ide@8/sd@0,0
        Connected Device: MATSHITA CD-RW  CW-8124   DZ13
        Device Type: <Unknown>

Is there a reliable way to get the number of disks as non-root?

Code:
iostat -En

The output is difficult to reliably script to parse the number of hard drives.

Code:
prtconf

Similar to iostat. It's difficult to reliably script to parse the number of hard drives.

The script h@foorsa.biz provided includes the DVD ROM. I suppose I can take the script, run rmformat, find the number of DVD ROM and then subtract from the output of the script. Smilie

For something parseable, you can use:
Code:
kstat -c device_error
