Solaris on x86 System hangs on boot

Hiya,
I've got a Solaris 10 VM which got disconnected from its disk (ESX server suffered RAID controller failure), and now won't come back up.

Before I did anything, it got as far as the "Hostname:" line before stopping. I added "-v" to the boot parms, and get more detail - now it stops after the "power0 is /pseudo/power@0" line.

I added "-m milestone=none", and started enabling services, and I've come down to "zfs volinit" hanging. Well, perhaps "hanging" is the wrong word - it's taking a LOT of CPU (or something is, according to VMware). If I do a "zfs volinit" manually, on the console obviously, the system is responsive in that the console echos what I type, but I can't cancel the zfs command so I have to reset it. If I do something like "svcadm milestone single-user", it does everything in the background: I see the messages, but I can still do things. "svcs -xv" says the "svc:/system/filesystem/usr"

Howdy, Stranger!
