I'm pretty far from being a competent Solaris admin, but when something very
similar happened to us, we mounted the screwed-up drive as a secondary drive
in another Solaris box, found the moved directory, and moved it back to its
correct location. This fixed the problem, but of course requires another
Solaris box.
I'm sure there's an easier way, but I have no idea what it is.
