The module "fs/specfs" seems to be the very first
module that is dynamically loaded (from the boot_archive),
and depends on "fs/fifofs", so that fifofs is loaded next,
and fifofs is the first module that is initialized, followed
by specfs.
I'd say that boot_archive has become corrupt on disk,
or maybe is corrupted in memory between being loaded
by grub and passed to the loaded unix kernel.
Before re-creating the broken boot_archive with create_ramdisk,
try to mount the boot_archive from another boot environment,
and verify it's contents, with something like this:
# beadm mount ... /be-mount-point
# mount -F hsfs /be-mount-point/platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive /mnt
# gzip -dc /mnt/kernel/fs/amd64/specfs > /tmp/specfs.tmp
# cmp /tmp/specfs.tmp /be-mount-point/kernel/fs/amd64/specfs
