Eventually, did the system reboot?
You did a reboot -- -r OR tried init 6 ?

Use /lib/svc/bin/restore_repository to restore a good copy of the SMF repository. Probably it got corrupted ...

Since its under single user mode now, perform fsck on all your filesystems untill corrupt blocks/errors are corrected.
After doing so, perform a init 0 and then from the ok> prompt, issue boot command. Try it first and let us know the outcome
