Now I'm embarrassed!  Yes, it just means I don't know what I am talking
about.  So, on a machine with a local disk, disklabel says this:

  a:      2097153            0     AdvFS
  b:       524287      2097153      swap
  c:     35545088            0    unused   1024   8192
  d:     11324074      1572864    unused   1024   8192
  e:      8388608     11010048     AdvFS
  f:     16146432     19398656     AdvFS
  g:      8388608      2621440     AdvFS
  h:     29671424      5873664    unused   1024   8192

and /etc/fdmns says this:

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     system      8192 Feb 24  2003 local_domain/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     system      8192 Feb 24  2003 root_domain/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     system      8192 Feb 24  2003 usr_domain/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     system      8192 Feb 24  2003 var_domain/

And in turn:

root_domain:  dsk0a@ -> /dev/disk/dsk0a
usr_domain:   dsk0e@ -> /dev/disk/dsk0e
var_domain:   dsk0g@ -> /dev/disk/dsk0g
local_domain: dsk0f@ -> /dev/disk/dsk0f

So it is indeed partitioned with disklabel and / is indeed on dsk0a:

I started to read the LSM manual just now but gave it up as a lot of work
that I sould not be doing on company time.
