I know this is the case on OpenBSD, but I haven't mounted Solaris
filesystems lately.  When you perform a /sbin/mount, the system should
report where the filesystem was last mounted.  This can be useful to ensure
you're putting everything back in the correct place.  You should probably
take some time now to backup your /etc/vfstab and disklabels.

You didn't mention it, but are you using a RAID system to manage your disks?
