Yeah, I had the same problem with my Ultra-2.

>What does it mean? How can I avoid this error?

I have no idea what it really means. I only came around that point
by installing Solaris on a scratch disk, booting it, copying the
patch on that disk and booted it from there. It really needs
the filesystem, it seems.

However, quite some time after that, somebody suggested that booting
the patch over silo could have been possible. If you'll try that out,
I would be interested in the results,

HTH,
Uli
