Thanks for the reply Garret. Indeed I did compare the contents of "/a/etc/vfstab" against what format(1M) reported the /dev/(r)dsk path of the O/S disk to be while booted into failsafe (ramdisk) mode. In my case, the path remained unchanged before and after the move of the USB disk from one port to another (c1t0d0).
