Hi Managers,
     After changing the diag-switch? to false, the system tries to boot from
the disk. I get the following messages and then the system goes in an
infinite loop of resetting itself and booting.

WARNING: timeout: reset bus chno = 1 targ = 2

dumps some output starting with:

panic[cpu0]/thread=2a10007dd20: BAD TRAP: type=31 ...
,....

skipping system dump - no dump device configured.

Waits for a while and then reboots itself..

Thanks,
-Ashish
