Okay, I tried that.  It did not print out the
   ata3: resetting devices ..
message, but it died with a panic:

panic: trap: memory address not aligned
Debugger("panic")
Stopped at      Debugger+0x1c:  ta              %xc, 1

I know nothing about lower-level sparc64 debugging, so I am
probably stuck at this point.

It will not be much of a problem if I have to reinstall this
system, so don't worry too much about this situation until I
get back to some kind of bootable system.  Thanks for the
suggestion though.  it would have been nice if it had worked!
