Hmm.. if you're sata drive is hot-plug, disconnect it and boot with the liveCD, then connect it. See if you can access the drive that way. It may be a defective drive and gone bust. Or worse, the mainboard has a fault.

Today when I came back to my box it was in a reboot loop. I'm unable to boot to single user, debug kernel ( -kd flag goes to debug mode, but then I've no keyboard ), etc. Won't even boot from live CD anymore, wh/it always has in the past. Hardware is a Tyan 2865 AMD64 mainboard that's never been problematic with Solaris. Passing an -s -v, the boot process probes hardware, gets to probing mounts, then recycles to bios. At least as best as I can tell as fast as it's flying by. So, it seems something is horked on boot environment or ZFS rpool? I'm pretty unfamiliar with Open/Solaris, so any pointers on where to go from here would be appreciated.
