    Hi guys,

    I haven't touched the boot prom. The system is a
    brand new V880
    I booted from CD and restored the file systems
    from a tape backup.
    Than I edited the vfstab file and rebooted the
    box, and it came up with this error message...

    The solution was to call the SUN support who
    swapped out the system board.

    So, be careful next time you run ufsrestore,
    because it can damage your PROM!

    Regards,

    John
