Great! I only need to modify the sd.conf, then... I wonder if I can do
it after the installation, something like: one plain install without
configuring addiional disks -> boot in single user (still sees only
the boot disk) -> modification of sd.conf and format -> reboot ->
attach of the previously created zpool (from freeBSD) -> update of zfs
to latest version...

Thanks all, I'll try this ASAP

In the end I've installed Nexenta (not all my decision...), everything
is working except for the number of disks available...
I mean, the driver was in the installation disk (good). I've boot in
single user mode and edited the sd.conf file adding 16 more lines with
target from 16 to 31 (lun=0), i.e.

[sd.conf without comments]
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=2 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=3 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=4 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=5 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=6 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=7 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=8 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=9 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=10 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=11 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=12 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=13 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=14 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=15 lun=0;
#added by me
name="sd" class="scsi" target=16 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=17 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=18 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=19 un=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=20 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=21 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=22 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=23 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=24 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=25 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=26 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=27 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=28 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=29 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=30 lun=0;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=31 lun=0;
#end of addition
name="sd" class="scsi-self-identifying";
name="sd" parent="arcmsr";
[/sd.conf]

I've rebooted (in single user mode) and I've run format but still I
can see choose among 20 disks, i.e. c0t[0-5]d0 and c1t[0-15]d0...

Any hint?

thanks

That's a typo.

After you bounce Nexenta, run devfsadm(1M) and then format -e
to see if the additional disks are recognized.

Tried reboot -- -r devfsadm -i sd devfsadm -i cpqary3

don't know which one was the proper but actually it works now :-)
