As it turns out now, something about the drive is causing the machine to hang on POST. It boots fine if the drive isn't connected, and if I hot plug the drive after the machine boots, it works fine, but the computer simply will not boot with the drive attatched. any thoughts on resolution?
Are you using an nforce4 based board? I have a Tyan K8E, and it hangs on boot if there are EFI labeled disks present. (Which is what ZFS uses when you give it whole disks.) If this is the problem, configure the BIOS settings so as to not probe those disks, and then it should boot. Of course, it won't be possible to boot off those disks, but they should work fine in Solaris.
