    I think we have (had?) a similar problem here (A1000 + Solaris 9) which we
    solved (by-passed?) by postponing the mounting of the vfstab entries that
    are on A1000 based soft partitions (don't forget to change "mount at boot"
    option in /etc/vfstab to no!). There is probably some race between A1000
    initialisation and the /etc/vfstab mounting processes.

    Bye, Dragan
