It sounds like the SATA (or SD) driver might be overambitious at retrying operations. It seems to me, coming from the SCSI world, that a "select failed" really ought to be a pretty strong indication that the device is gone; but perhaps SATA acts quite differently.
As for these messages, they ought to wind up in /var/adm/messages by default; the standard Solaris /etc/syslog.conf file directs them there.
