[SunHELP] Boot Problem with an E250

I am having a bit of a problem with a E250.

It was running fine for a while but was taken down in a power outage. 
It was on a UPS, so there should have been no power spike or anything 
hitting it. It had been running just fine for a few months from the 
last system change.

Now, it just hangs on boot:

As you can see, I tried booting off of a install CD as well incase 
there was something wrong with the hard drive. I have made sure all the 
boards are seated, etc. Nothing is lose, and the case is on all the 
way. I gave it plenty of time (overnight) on a normal boot to make sure 
I was not just being impatient. Also, boot disk is "disk1", but I tried 
booting up off of disk0-disk6 just for the hell of it. The CD not 
letting me boot is what really through me.

Anyone have any suggestions on where I should look on this?

Thanks
