DiskSuite does, and i think RAIDframe might.  don't know about the OSes by
themselves, but a hotswap drive in a non-array config is usually rather
useless. :)

you should not need to boot -r in solaris as long as the scsi id and the
controller it's connected to doesn't change.

the others don't "suffer" the boot -r thing since they don't do the dynamic
config trick.
