Original question below. Most people suggested to update OBP firmware, but
this wasn't the problem. The Solaris 2.6 machine has mirrored bootdisks
using SDS, and although I broke the mirror before I upgraded to Solaris 8, I
didn't actually metacleared all the metadevices. Instant filesystem
corruption began after booting the Solaris 8 system as a result. I restored
from tape and will retry the upgrade.
Thanks to all who took the time to respond.
