Looks like you're using solaris10.
What architecture?  If it's x86, I'm sure
the business could afford a test machine.

Anyway, it looks like you have /usr in /'s slice.
You could move it out, if you have enough space:

boot single user, create new fs, copy /usr to it,
make entries in /etc/vfstab to mount the new fs on /usr,
reboot, and just before rebooting, 'mv /usr /usr.old'
reboot. if it looks ok, rm -r /usr.old

if it doesn't look ok, you'll have to boot with
the cdrom and do hairy repairs.

if you've run out of slices, you can use softpartitions
instead.

there's quite a few details missing above, but googling
might get you the rest

ps. no warranty :-)
