I agree, half-compatibility is broken. This would solve the problem:
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 -> ../disk/sd_h1c1t0u0p2
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 -> ../disk/scd_h1c1t1u0p0
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 -> ../disk/ide_h0c0t0u0p2
/dev/dsk/c0t8d0s2 -> ../disk/fd_h0c0t8u0p2
It would be OK to just reserve /dev/dsk for future use.
I think it is important to give floppy+ide the c0* name,
unless Solaris/x86 has some other solution.
