@honglus: Ok, boot -v provided a more verbose boot up but still crash dumps and reboots. I'll try this again now that auto-boot? is false.
@Hari_Ganesh: As for coverage.... no! My company, against my suggestions, let the contract drop. And, I was just told that Oracle (according to my Sun FSE) will not do T&M anymore.
@incredible: I unplugged all drives.... got to the ok> prompt, tehn set auto-boot? to false, saved the nvram, reset the machine, and this time ran obdiag. Within obdiag I setenv diag-level max and then did a test-all. Everything passes!

I was able to see the error message before the stack dump and reset.
The error appears to be: Illegal major device number
I think the system is having a problem initializing the SCSI tape drive or the SCSI card itself. Although it doesn't list any errors it appears to be very slow during boot while initializing PCI/SCSI2. PCI/SCSI1 does not appear to have the same problem.

Ok, illegal major device number appears to be a SVM mirror issue so I'm back to square one.
Re: SVM mirror not working , illegal major device number...
I'll let you all know how this pans out. Thanks for the suggestions. As always, more suggestions are welcome--I am by no means a SVM expert
