the problem turned out to be a failed HDD. Though there was nothing in the
vfstab and it is not a part of the md device, it is causing the solaris to
wait for a very long time before booting. After removing the faulty disk the
system boots like charm...I am still confused about how could a failed SCSI
cause the system to give a long pause. Anyone has clues?
Rene Occelli's mail helped alot. Here are others who gave helpful
hints..thanx to all of ya..:)

Subject: E250 hanging at boot
Hi All,
we have just received an E250 from another place(which obviously was
operational). The machine just refuses to boot even on cdrom. All
diagnostics come out clean. I noticed that one out of the six disk slots in
empty ( take out??!!! ). The missing disk apears to be on disk6 ( and
presumably not a boot disk).
The machine seems to boot fine till printing the Sun OS header and copyright
information ( on CD or from boot disk). I am unable to contact the admin who
handled the machine previously. Any help in tracing the problem would be
great.
TIA,
Srinivas
