You can always boot from the Solaris CDROM and then mount your root
partition on /mnt or /a.

Were you using Update Manager? I use the following commands to free up
disk space after automatic patch installs :-

sudo find /var/sadm/pkg -name '1?????-??' -type d -exec rm -rf {} +
sudo find /var/sadm/pkg -type f -name obsolete.Z -exec rm {} +

Some of the patches can use a lot of space which is not made free after
install.
