Lets take a look at the configuration files ...
The sdevice.d directory still accurately reflects how your machine is configured, but any edits (for hardware drivers) won't make any difference!
The resmgr now controls the configuration of these drivers for you but the sdevice.d files are updated when appropriate by the DCU.
idconfupdate utility will sync up the resmgr and the sdevice.d. Also, the kernel utitlities have been updated so, for example, using idinstall to add a new driver to the system will also correctly update the resmgr.
Note that you have resmgr information stored in the file /stand/resmgr and the current "running" configuration accesed from /dev/resmgr.
(an aside, if you end up with an out-of-date /stand/resmgr, try going back to the previous one with boot# RESMGR=resmgr.sav)
