same process worked for me with the older version of disksuite on solaris 2.5.1 but definitely went bonkers with the newer version on solaris 8 ... your process would've worked if you reformatted the metadb slice on 1 of the drives prior to rebooting ... the system enables disksuite on bootup and sees intact metadbs so it tries to configure the filesystems under disksuite control like normal ... removing the metadbs ensures that the system doesn't have disksuite running ... and everything related to disksuite in /etc/system --- from "Begin MDD" to "End MDD" needed to get removed and not just commented out ...

the fsck of the individual filesystems while they were still mirrored, however, did not sound too good --- i think they should have been done after the mirrors were broken and the box rebooted ...

if you didn't know this yet ...
you don't need to go into single user mode to reset the eeprom entries if you don't want to (see "man eeprom") ... and you could also set them from the ok prompt as required (see this )

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.
