It happened with both custom and GENERIC_SCSI3 kernels. It offers me the
option of manually entering in the root device.
My bootpath is:
bootpath: /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/espdma@4,8400000/esp@4,8800000/sd@3,0:h
mainbus0 (root): SUNW,SPARCclassic: hostid 80024a75
Hmm. That looks wrong to me.
