Hello and thank you.

I do not understand a couple of things in your post:

1 "at the PDC prompt", not sure what PDC prompt is, I typed "sea IPL" in configuration portion of menu
2 "try refixing the disk", not sure what that means

I just tried "sea ISL" (this option does not exist in configuration area of menu) and system returned following:

ERROR: Unknown device
Search Table has been cleared.

I also tried "sea" and interesting enough the system returned the following:

Path number Device path Device type
P0 LAN <address> <address> 100/Full Dx
P1 IDE LITE-ON LTR-24102B
P2 SCSI.2.0 HP C1537A
P3 FWSCSI.6.0 HP 36.4GMAN3367MC

So one question is why does "sea IPL" return "No devices found" and "sea" returns above?

Thanks in advance.

So Connect this disk to other system and do ioscan -fnC disk and chk whether this disk is getting detected.
If the above fails and u don't have ignite or backup then I am sorry. It's a disaster.
If the disk is getting detected and still the problem persists then It's for sure that the LIF volume is corrupted. Do POST and with results. We can try to find a solun.

installboot

installboot(1M) 														   installboot(1M)

NAME

       installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition

SYNOPSIS

       installboot bootblk raw-disk-device

       The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition.

       The  ufs  boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be
       found using the -i option of uname(1).

       The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It is not supported on the  architecture.  users should use installgrub(1M) instead.

       bootblk	       The name of the bootblock code.

       raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is  read-
		       able and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive.

       Example 1: Installing UFS Boot Block

       To install a ufs boot block on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use:

	      example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk 
		   /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0

       /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs

	   directory where ufs boot objects reside.

       /platform/platform-name/ufsboot

	   second level program to boot from a disk or CD

WARNINGS

       The installboot utility fails if the bootblk or openfirmware files do not exist or if the raw disk device is not a character device.
