Do you know the device node of the root filesystem? eg, c0t0d0s0

If not, use the 'format' command, select the first disk, and display its partitions ("slices" in Solaris speak).

Post the output of this. DON'T attempt to change anything.

You should then use 'fsck' to attempt to check the root filesystem. Ensure that you use the -n switch initially to see what damage there is.

It looks like your root filesystem is c0t0d0s0 so the command to check for damage is:-

Code:
# fsck -F ufs -n /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

That will check the filesystem. Post the output of that.

I may be that the disk label is damaged and/or the boot block and these may need rewriting, but let's check the filesystem first.
