Symptoms
System prints the following warning message upon boot:

SunOS[TM] Release 5.5.1 Version Generic_103640-03 [UNIX(R)
System V Release 4.0]
Copyright (c) 1983-1996, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

WARNING: add_spec: No major number for sf

Resolution
The 'sf' driver is specific for a SENA (Sun Enterprise Network Array),
also known as a "photon".

This was the behavior in Solaris[TM] 2.5.1 (bug id 4046851) which has been fixed in 2.6.

If you do not have a SENA attached to your system, you can safely
ignore this message. If you have a hard time ignoring this message,
you can install patch 104628-02 (or higher) SunOS 5.5.1: driver_aliases,
driver_classes and name_to_major patch.

Internal Comments
From the last update on bug id 4046851 it looks like it will not be fixed
