Solution:
Boot from Solaris 2.6 release 5/98 or higher, using the "boot cdrom" command
at the OpenBoot PROM.
I was able to boot the machine in single user mode, repair the disks and
restore the kernel thanks to this solution.
NOTE:
"Solaris Software Supplement" CD can not be booted from to solve this
problem, as some have suggested.
Many thanks to Casper Dik and others for a helpful hint and another quick
turnaround for a critical problem.
