Adam,
Boot off a solaris server software CD, mount the root file system and check
if (in anyway) the /etc/vfstab has been altered. Secondly, it could be the
fact that for some reason your logical lnks to devices have been deleted, if
thats the case, try this:

ok> boot cdrom -sw
#mount root file system to /a
#cd /a/dev/dsk
#rm c*
#cd /a/dev/rdsk
#rm c*
#cd /
#drvconfig -r /a/devices -p /a/etc/path_to_inst
#devlinks -r /a
#disks -r /a
#tapes -r /a
#ports -r /a
#audlinks -r /a
#cd /
#umount /a
#reboot

Let us know how you progress.
