Original question at the bottom. Thanks to: L Bryan Moore <lbmoore@scrippsops.com> Kevin Korb <kmk@sanitarium.net> Hichael Morton <mh1272@yahoo.com> "Mortensen, Henrik" <henrik.mortensen@csfb.com> Greg Gallagher <ggallag@foc.com> Val Popa <Val.Popa@Sun.COM> All said the same thing: edit /etc/path_to_inst (*carefully*, and make a backup first), remove the offending device lines, and reboot with a -r. By the way, *don't* just remove /etc/path_to_inst if you are using disksuite (I'm assuming disksuite caused the problem). You won't be able to boot at all anymore -- the disks will be fragged, presumably because it can't figure out what the root disk should be. Thankfully, I took the advice and made a backup of path_to_inst, and then just removed the ge lines (those were the main offenders anyway). I may take the time to clean up the drive devices, but this machine is going to be upgraded to Solaris 8 shortly anyway.
