Good call: 

  Initializing device dsk8.
                                                                                                                                    
  Initialization of disk device dsk8 failed.
  Error: lsm:voldisk: ERROR: Device dsk8: define failed:
        Disk read failure
lsm:voldisk: ERROR: voldisk: Warning couldn't update disklabel on dsk8
Hit RETURN to continue.
                                                                                                                                    
Goodbye.
