Yes I did and no it doesn't. And the symptom is a known problem, supposedly
fixed in update 9 but I booted to single use from the update 9 disk and
trying to do an import also caused a panic and a reboot. Not looking very
good.

I don't know how to do that. Can I do it without a service contract?

And if not, is it possible (and how much work is it) to set up a net boot
from a Sparc server on the same LAN? The update 9 installer disk does boot,
but it gives me a nastygram later and says the CD is not a Solaris OS CD
which I found is also a known problem because of lack of support for my
nvidia chipset.

Consumer sata drives, 2 devices in the good mirror pool and 2 devices in
the bad mirror pool. when zpool import is issued, both pools show up as
ONLINE with no errors.

Whatever comes stock with update 8.

Nope, because I never had anything else on this box.
