busy bit

Hi,

I can't get my SunBlade 150 running Solaris 8 to boot. At the ok
prompt, when I type test-all,
I get the following error message:

Testing /pci@1f,0/ide@d

        ERROR : IDE device did not reset, busy bit not cleared .
        DEVICE : /pci@1f,0/ide@d
        SUBTEST : selftest:reset&check-diag
        MACHINE: Sun Blade 150 (UltraSPARC-IIe 550MHz)
        SERIAL : blah blah blah
        DATE : today's date and time
        CONTROLS: diag-level-max test-args=

/pci@1f,0/ide@d selftest failed, return code = 1

Is this a fixable problem? It seems as though if I reformat the drive,
it should be ok, but truthfully, there
is some information that I would like to retrieve that didn't make it
to the last backup.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Best regards,

ep
