Hi list,
Thanks for the really great info.
I took people's advice (listed below, duplications not shown) and verified
that I actually do have a CPU "missing in action" from my E450.
I now have the machine in my office (it's rather loud!) and I'm attempting to
fault-find the problem. If I can't sort it out I'll log a call with Sun.
Cheers! (But not to the rude people and the vacationers).

The FRU has been deliberately failed by a PROM command (Perhaps it was flaky - re-enable it and see)

That FRU being processor 3. (Assuming they count from 0, the last one in
the machine.)
That's a hardware issue (one of the cpu units) If you can boot up
otherwise doing a "prtdiag -v" via shell will tell you more information.
You might want to check output from "psrinfo" to verify how many CPUs
are active/online in your system .. sounds like one CPU may be
faulty/offline (failed hardware? possibly shutdown / reseat the CPU on
the mainboard to confirm, or play "musical chairs" to rearrange CPUs to
rule out other HW issues such as CPU socket / support hardware upstream)....
ie, sample output from an e450 here (with 4x400mhz CPUs)

and/or

The sparcv9 processor operates at 400 MHz,
and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.

looks like you just lost a CPU , in slot 3 what dose prtdiag -v say :?
Means you should probably reboot the system with eeprom env var
diag-level="max" and diag-switch?=true. Something failed or is failing.
You can also run /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v from the root prompt.
