This was an important piece of information (Solaris 7 Jumbo Kernel Patch). Did you apply it and [I}then{/I} you could not boot? Did you apply the patch in single user mode?
Please answer these questions.
Also, please post the output from df -k.
If there is still space on /var/adm (whatever that partition is) then it should still write to the files. Another possiblity is that you have run out of inodes. Post your output from df -k.

utmpx
utmpx(4) File Formats utmpx(4)
NAME
utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats
SYNOPSIS
#include <utmpx.h>
/var/adm/utmpx
/var/adm/wtmpx
DESCRIPTION
The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files.
The utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database
contains the history of user access and accounting information for the utmpx database.
USAGE
Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to inter-
act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently.
FILES
/var/adm/utmpx user access and adminstration information
/var/adm/wtmpx history of user access and adminstrative information
SEE ALSO
getutxent(3C), wait(3C), wait.h(3HEAD)
