 I hope I didn't leave anyone out.

 Here's the solution:

 "... /etc/vfstab is incorrect. Check the "raw" column and correct the
  filesystem listed there."

 You guys are good. Thanks for the awesome assistance!

 Here's the original problem:

> Hi. I installed Solaris 7 on a Sparc 5 last week. This old
> workstation has two rather small disk drives. To get the new
> OS to fit on this sparcstation I had to make the boot disk
> target 0 instead of the default target 3. I now have the
> following disk setup :
>
> wtr1-14 > df -k
> Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
> /proc 0 0 0 0% /proc
> /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 29978 16724 10257 62% /
> /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 488007 431981 7226 99% /usr
