Thanks to the following people:

Jed Dobson <jed@wgtech.com>
Casper Dik <Casper.Dik@sun.com>
Tim Evans <tkevans@troweprice.com>
Elizabeth Lee
<elizabeth.lee.contractor@fnmoc.navy.mil>
Franczyk Gerald <FGF013C@motorola.com>

The winning answer is "nvalias"

As Franczyk Gerald put it:

One can use:

devalias <alias> <long_pathname>
ie:

devalias disk0 /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/disk@0,0

But that will not remain active past the next reboot
To make it stay, use the "nvalias" command:

nvalias disk0 /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/disk@0,0

And then use "nvstore" to lock it into nvram.

Casper Dik explained that scsi@3 is the internal SCSI
and scsi@3,1 is the external SCSI bus (yes, we *did*
use the external SCSI bus for these disks :-)

Regarding the sunmanagers archives, there are a number
of them:
