Sounds like the disk label may have gotten hit.
Try uname -a and see what Solaris version it is.
I'd try fsck -n and see what partitions it knows about and can see
(bet it's just root).
It may be possible to run the format program and label it...
If you need it I've got some Sun compatible CDROMS (single speed
external slow) available that'll do the 512 byte sectors.
