Sun Fire V210 - unexpected SCSI interrupt while idle (at boot time)

Hi there all,

I have inherited a new SunFire. I've been told that its disc was
pre-installed with Sol.2.8 and then jumpstarted with a fresh 2.9
installation. After the 2.9 installation the system enters a continious
reboot cycle with a SCSI error. I have included the info below. Although
this is a SCSI error, I wonder if this is a problem with the disc or the
rest of the machine?

Regards, Zii.
