Thanks to:

who offered a number of suggestions. However, the problem turned out to be
something else, for which I feel *really* foolish. Right before we moved
the machine, I had taken out some of its simms, so it ended up with only
8 megs after the move. As all of us (including myself) should know, Solaris
2.x requires 16MB. Sure enough, after I put back in 4 4MB simms, it booted
up fine. Thanks to Sun Tech. Support for catching that.
I'm sure none of us has ever made silly mistakes like this before, right? ;-)
