When you applied the recommended patches, were you in single user mode?

If not, then more than likely you have 'hosed' the system. One or more patch did not apply correctly because of the state of the server. It is causing a panic on the server.

If the server is actually up in single user - remove the patch.
OR
You could try booting cdrom -s and then mounting your different partitions under /mnt. You could then try to find the patch directory (where you installed from) and run the backoutpatch script (note you would have to change it to let it know that the real /, /usr, /whateverelse is actually under /mnt/, /mnt/usr, ...
If you don't it will fail for two reasons - one: you can't write to the / partition while booted from cdrom - and two, the cdrom doesn't have the patch on it)

If you can't do that - re-install the OS, apply patch in single user, init 0, boot -s (normally I would boot -s after applying a patch - just in case )

Another possible cause - a bad CPU or memory - but I don't find anything on SunSolve except software issues for that error.

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
