Issue after jumpstart with Solaris 10 u7
I am performing this installation on a Sun T5220. There is an aftermarket Adaptec StorageTek raid controller card installed. I have created the raid array, and it is referred to as c1t0d0. Here is the profile I have created:

Code:
install_type
initial_install
system_type server
cluster SUNWCXall
partitioning explicit
filesys c1t0d0s0 248026 /
filesys c1t0d0s1 16386 swap
filesys c1t0d0s3 15366 /var

After this, the install proceeds without too much problem. After the install reboots the server, I receive the following messages:

Code:

I have rebooted to the OS install cd and run fsck, and there are no errors.

Here's my vfstab file:
Code:

swap    -       /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     -

When i try to remount using
Code:
remount -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 /

I receive an error stating:
That /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 is not ufs. Except it is ufs!

I'm kind of lost. Any suggestions? This is a new system so I'm strongly considering just nuking the install and trying again.

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.
