Well, I got a few answers which were helpful, but unfortunately didn't get me to where I needed to go. Responses are below. The thing that worked was from Sun (thanks to a friend!):

I have a 280R with an A1000 attached running Solaris 9. However, I
installed Solaris before connecting the A1000. I never have seen
your problem. You may want to try the OS installation with the A1000
powered off.

I'd disconnect the A1000 during the install, then connect it and boot -r afterwards.

During power on self test, the OpenBoot Prom generates a device tree,
based upon what it sees. During a reconfiguration reboot, (the initial
boot after installation is a reconfiguration reboot) the operating
system reads this device tree, and compares it against it has already
assigned (as recorded in the /etc/path_to_inst file) and adds new
controllers, targets and disks based upon what it sees.
Since most of these devices are connected to the PCI bus, there is a
'pci0-probe-list' parameter to the eeprom. You can tweak this to get
the scan order you want.

The SCSI address of the A1000 can be set and I think its a dial on the
back, you may also have a mixed signal, I think A1000 were wide and we
usually had them on their own card, anyway change the A1000 address, so a
reset-all at the OK? then do a show-scsi-all and then pass go.
