Solaris x86: Bad PBR sig

Hello everyone,

I have a Sun x4600 (Solaris 10 x86) server.During boot up "Bad PBR sig" error comes soon after post (before GRUB). Unless the return key is pressed the server never boots up. Once the return key is pressed the boot process continues without any problem.

Can you please help me with fixing the "Bad PBR sig" error?

Thank you in advance
