Ultra-2 POST status code question

    I've got an Ultra-2 that recently went down as a result of a power failure.
    After restoring power, the machine refused to boot to the internal disk.

    Booted to a Solaris install CD so I could run format to check the disks, and it
    turns out that the disk that WAS the bood disk is now no longer formatted (and
    apparently unlabeled) :(

    Set diag-level=max and diag-switch?=true, then used a laptop to log all of the
    output from the POST to make sure everything else is ok. The logfile's
    attached.

    I don't see any messages saying anything is wrong, but instead of saying
    Status = PASS
    near the end, it says:
    Status = 0000.0000.0000.0000 0000.01ff.f007.87f0 1f66.0000.01c1.0105

    Would anyone be able to help me figure out what these two non-zero codes mean?

    Thanks.

    Barry
