boot from cdrom and run format, i think booting from disk won't work...
If this does not fix: I guess you need your backups and a new disk...

Well, The problem was the IDE DVDRW / CDRW. There isn't very much support for the IDE cdroms and the cdroms that are supported are mostly end of life products. I have come to the conclusion that the only way to go is SCSI for all drive products when using Sun / Solaris products. Thanks for your response.
