Hi Folks,

Firstly, a big thanks to all who responded. It was precisely the
direction I needed to look in.

To recall, after installing Solaris 10 on a V125, I was getting this
error upon rebooting:

---------------SNIP---------------
Cannot mount root on /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@1,0:a fstype ufs

panic[cpu0]/thread=180e000: vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root

---------------UN-SNIP---------------

The problem was that I had the wrong disk set as the 'boot-device' in
the OBP.

The solution was re-setting the OBP defaults by issuing the
"set-defaults" command.

Pretty simple really :-).

Much thanks, Craig
