Post Solaris Boot Problems, random messages [/etc/rcS: /etc/dfs/sharetab: cannot create]

Hello All,

I have all of a sudden developed issues with booting up one of my Solaris [V240] Servers. Upon a routine reboot, I was faced with the following errors:

Feb 1 07:56:44 sco1-au-tci scsi: WARNING: /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@0,0 (sd0):
Feb 1 07:56:44 sco1-au-tci Error for Command: read(10) Error Level: Retryable
Feb 1 07:56:44 sco1-au-tci scsi: Requested Block: 114007888 Error Block: 114007903

Feb 1 07:56:45 sco1-au-tci scsi: ASC: 0x11 (unrecovered read error), ASCQ: 0x0, FRU: 0xf

So I figured, Oh ****...the disk is messed up. However, on running a few scans, i.e. 'iostat -En' showed ALL errors to be '0'. In addition, I ran the format -> analyze -> read test which ran for about 10 or so hours and came back saying 0 errors found to be repaired. So it appears nothing particularly is wrong with my hardware. After the 2nd reboot, I didn't get the errors above anymore but now I can't seem to get past the single-user mode. I get the following errors.

mount: the state of /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 is not okay
and it was attempted to be mounted read/write
mount: Please run fsck and try again
/sbin/rcS: /etc/dfs/sharetab: cannot create
failed to open /etc/coreadm.confsyseventd: Unable to open daemon lock file '/etc/sysevent/syseventd_lock': 'Read-only file system'
INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmpx

INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "

INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "

INIT: SINGLE USER MODE

Type control-d to proceed with normal startup,
(or give root password for system maintenance):
single-user privilege assigned to /dev/console.
Entering System Maintenance Mode

I am unable to run fsck since this drive has an image of a corrupted drive (which had a bunch of unreadable sectors/blocks). I used ufsdump/ufsrestore to back it up, which obv left a gaping hole at the track/sectors where the original/corrupted disk was unreadable. So now even though it makes the server do its function without any problems, it doesn't allow me to run fsck and gives me a message like

[root@sol8-ssw01 /]# fsck -y /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
** /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0

CANNOT READ: BLK 143278112
CONTINUE? yes

THE FOLLOWING SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 143278112 143278113 143278114 143278115

I have read a whole bunch of stuff as I found on google, like /var being full (it's not), the WWN being wrong as compared between vfstab, /dev, and /devices directory etc. I don't know what is wrong and I don't know what to do to fix this. Any ideas as to why this happened and what I can do?

PLEASE HELP!!!
