It's good that you reported the issue and of course USB automount is useful.

Andreas Wacknitz also confirmed this, and is trying to help as much as possible.

Perhaps restarting 'hal' is a workaround.

If I insert a USB mouse or USB storage device, and give hal a kick:

root@wapper:~# svcadm restart hal

then eject -l lists the usb storage

root@wapper:~# eject -l
/dev/dsk/c4t1d0s2    cdrom,cdrom0,cd,cd0,sr,sr0
/dev/dsk/c5t0d0p0:1  rmdisk,rmdisk0,USBSLACK

I agree that it shouldn't be necessary to restart hal,
but this could be a workaround.

I use an old PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse on my system,
as the Dell Precision still has PS/2 connectors
(in addition to the USB 3.2 ports),so I'm not affected by USB keyboard,
but obviously all modern mice and keyboards are USB, and restarting hal maybe 
helps.

Theoretically the SMF dependents are

root@wapper:~# svcs -D hal
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       18:19:30 svc:/network/device-discovery/printers:snmp
disabled       18:19:31 svc:/system/filesystem/rmvolmgr:default
online         18:28:36 svc:/application/graphical-login/lightdm:default

root@wapper:~# svcs -d hal
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         18:19:34 svc:/system/device/local:default
online         18:19:35 svc:/system/filesystem/minimal:default
online         18:19:37 svc:/system/sysevent:default
online         18:19:37 svc:/system/dbus:default
online         18:19:44 svc:/system/keymap:default

Looking at the above I also note that I wasn't running rmvolmgr for some reason!

root@wapper:~# svcadm enable rmvolmgr

and voilĂ :

/media/USBSLACK on /dev/dsk/c5t0d0p0:1 
read/write/nosetuid/nodevices/hidden/nofoldcase/clamptime/noatime/timezone=-3600/dev=2ec1090
 on Mon Jun 28 18:48:24 2021

Pardon my French (I'm Flemish) but automount is working for me !

If I remove the USBSLACK key it is unmounted.

If I insert it again, it is not mounted, but

root@wapper:~# svcadm restart hal
root@wapper:~# svcadm restart rmvolmgr

is doing the trick of automount.

So this could provide a temporary work-around.
