Yes, boot -r is the culprit.
As an alternative, Sun support said that I could manually comment out
the reference to sf in /kernel/drv/ssd.conf. I would have to remember
to uncomment it if we ever added a Photon storage device.
$ grep sf ssd.conf
name="ssd" parent="sf" target=0;
Thank you for the info.
