Good.

Absolutely not. Per POSIX, 'test cond1 -a cond2' is not portable; only
'test cond1 && test cond2' is.

Incorrect quoting and invalid use of -a.  (Use of [[ doesn't need
quotes, because it's shell syntax; but use of [ needs quoting in case
$arch or $root contains spaces or globbing characters)

Should be:

if [ "${arch#sparc}" != "$arch ] && [ -e "${root}/dev/mdesc" ]; then

Similar incorrect quoting and -a.

More missing quoting.

and again
