Work Around
Legal reasons prevent unrestricted redistribution of the bmc driver in OpenSolaris, so it is not yet included.  As a workaround, please take the files;

$ grep bmc /var/sadm/install/contents | head
/kernel/drv/amd64/bmc f none 0755 root sys 35984 42138 1225816778 SUNWckr
/kernel/drv/bmc f none 0755 root sys 23684 5173 1225816787 SUNWckr
/kernel/drv/bmc.conf f none 0644 root sys 177 14089 1225787326 SUNWckr

from a Solaris community express, developer express, or Nevada build,
from package SUNWckr.
a workaround for customers , who don't have access to the remedy described earlier
would be to use the network interface

i.e. instead of
ipmitool -I bmc fru list

use 

ipmitool -I lan -H SPs_IP_address -U root
