/etc/rc.boot4 contains these lines on our system:

showled 0x551
# bring up the root volume group
/etc/ipl_varyon -v
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
        while :
        do
                showled 0x552
        done
fi


It looks like either the volume table on disk or the root filesystem on the
boot image is corrupt.  I have no clue what you can do about this.
