Nope.  64bit all the way.  There were some issues with the 64bit kernel
on the first Ultra processors that made it possible, under controlled
circumstances, for a programmer (if he had access to the box to run
code) to crash the system with malicious code.  I run the 64bit version
on my U1-170E with nary an issue.

Try mounting /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 and see if that works.
