Disabled PCI Slot Causes an fcode_timer
Timeout During Solaris Boot
Using the asr command asr-disable pci-slotn (where n is 0-8) to disable a
PCI slot with a card present in that slot is not recommended. If there is a failing card
in a PCI slot, you should instead remove the card from the system.
If you do use the asr-disable pci-slotn command to disable a slot with a card
present (whether or not the card is failing), the interpreter will pause, waiting for a
response from the card. Since the card will not respond due to the fact it was
disabled, the boot sequence will be delayed by several minutes.
