Thanks to Darren Dunham, Mehran Salehi, and Tom Zurita for helping get
to the bottom of this.

Ideas were to:

1) boot from cdrom and fsck / partition

2) verify that vxvm rootvol was enabled

3) to un-encapsulate root (by commenting out
vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1 and rootdev:/pseudo/vxio@0:0 from
/etc/system; then remove references to vx in /etc/vfstab) and reboot

What I did:

1) Un-encapsulated root (steps in #3 are only part of the process
- email me if you want the whole process)

2) Reboot

3) System came up fine

4) Ran vxdiskadm to encapsulate root

5) Reboot

6) Problem re-occurred

7) Noticed that entries for rootdev were not in /etc/system (Added
vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1 and rootdev:pseudo/vxio@0:0).

8) Reboot to single user mode

9) System came up fine

10) Brought up system into multi-user mode (system came up fine)

Thanks,

Ken
