What exactly is the "magick incantation"? You should be able to
manually mount the root filesystem after it comes up in single user
mode by doing:
mount -u /dev/rzXY /
where X is the SCSI id and Y is the partition (so rz0b in your case).
Then you should be able to continue on from there (set terminal type,
start sysinst, etc).
