If you use HME, you will need to reinstall those packages;
preferrably before you next reboot (and need to get the CDs out)

And at Sun we did realize that the "SBus"  in the package name may
lead to mistakes likes yours so Solaris 9 has:

system      SUNWhmd        SunSwift Adapter Drivers
system      SUNWhmdu       SunSwift Adapter Headers
system      SUNWhmdx       SunSwift Adapter Drivers (64-bit)
