Also check to see that /dev/rsd3c exists. And keep in mind that
sd3 does not refer to the disk on SCSI ID 3, it refers to the fourth
disk found by the system. Examine your boot up logs carefully (the
output of dmesg or by looking at /var/log/messages) to see just
what drives the kernel found.

I did this and found it as trivial as disklabeling any other disk.
I even had my Sparc booting from a zip drive for testing purposes.
