That is what I thought should happen as well but this is what happens.  As 
I read this email, I went to the "ok" prompt and did a "setenv boot-device 
/sbus/esp@0,800000/sd@6,0".  A printenv shows my boot-disk as set and my 
boot-file set to /kernel/genunix.  I still get this error message:

Boot device: /sbus/esp@0,800000/sd@6,0 File and args: /kernel/genunix
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open Sun disk label package
Can't open boot device

It doesn't make any sense to me.  Are these messages coming from the prom?

That secondary boot is on your disk. If you have more than one, then you
need to tell the EEPROM which one to boot from; it's the "boot-device" and
you can set it to some other disk with the "setenv" command in the prom
monitor.

Assuming you did a clean install of Solaris, I can't imagine that it didn't
set up a boot sector of its own on the disk you installed it on...
