Solaris 9 installs its bootloader into the slice rather than the disk, so add disk:d to the disk bootpath to enable automatic booting in this case.

Actually it seems this is wrong if you allow Solaris 9 to automatically partition the disk itself - in this case the installer sets the swap partition to be the first physical slice whilst the root partition is the first logical slice. This suggests the correct behaviour is to ensure that we try and boot from the first logical slice and then fall back to the whole disk as before. Revised patch coming up shortly.
