Hi George.
did you miss something after "unknown disk type for ..."?
If yes, maybe it's related to your root filesystem.
#bdf
check if your root lvol is "/dev/root" or "/dev/vg00/lvol3".
If it is the first case, then:
#mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab.old
#bdf

re-start your make_recovery/make_tape_recovery.
good luck.
