Try to do it without a GUI running... There are some insane additions
in Gnome or Kde (that make your claims partially true if you have luck),
but they unfortunately disturb the CD/DVD writing process.
On Solaris, even with the 3 year old Solaris 9 or with the even older
Solaris 8 + USB patched, you only stick the plug in and wait 3 seconds.
The apropriate feature (volume management) for automounting removable
media is in the basic Solaris system since 1992.
The memory stick appears mounted under /rmdisk/<label name>/
To unmount, call e.g. 'eject rmdisk'
....You need to boot once with the stick inserted or to call
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
/etc/init.d/volmgt start
after you inserted the stick the first time.
