I guess you probably switch the disk label from a SMI to EFI one with your BSD experiments. You need to switch it back to SMI with "format -e" command.

Also, instead of Solaris 9 which is quite outdated, you might want to try installing the latest OpenSolaris release (textinstall-134-sparc.iso from Index of /isos/opensolaris) on that box. It fits on a CD so doesn't require a DVD.

NAME
bscv, bscbus, i2bsc - Blade support chip interface driver DESCRIPTION
The bscv, bscbus and i2bsc drivers interface with the Blade support chip used on Sun Microsystem's Blade server products. These drivers provide a conduit for passing control, environmental, cpu signature and event information between Solaris and the Blade support chip. These drivers do not export public interfaces. Instead they make information available via picl, prtdiag, prtfru and related tools. In addition, these drivers log Blade support chip environmental event information into system logs. FILES
