I've seen the same problem on my SS10, this looks like a kernel bug,
introduced around or after 2.5. I'm currently solving this by using the
SUN4M kernel and switching back to GENERIC if the problem shows up
there.

About you multiboot question: try 'boot disk0:a' and 'boot disk0:d' and
the like. This should work, because Sun documents it. :)
But I don't know if this works with OpenBSD disklabels, because these
have twice as many partitions than the Solaris disklabels.

(Or was it 'boot disk0:1'? I don't remember, and can' reboot the machine
to verify this...)
