I had a problem getting the system to recognize a disk. I kept
getting on boot:

> vmunix: esp0: Target 2 now Synchronous at 3.572 mb/s max transmit rate
> vmunix: sd2 at esp0 target 2 lun 0
> vmunix: sd2: Vendor 'QUANTUM', product 'P105SS', (unknown capacity)

and the following (on the console) on trying to "format" or "fsck".

> vmunix: sd2: offline
> vmunix: sd2 at esp0 target 2 lun 0
> vmunix: sd2: Vendor 'QUANTUM', product 'P105SS', (unknown capacity)

Thanks to those who replied:

It turns out that something in the read-only portion of the disk had
gone bad. Sun came out and replaced the disk and everything is now
copacetic.
