The problem with patch installation is in the prepatch script supplied with the 118844-30 patch. I found the solution here http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=28707&tstart=0 . Replacement of "boot-device" with "bootpath" in the prepatch script does the trick and patch applyes without any other problems. It seems the prepatch script needs to be fixed by Sun, because the problem exists since 118844-28 patch.
