Not a solution, but possibly a hint...

I have an open case against S10U3 in that if I am using various
Veritas products (had from VCS, vxconfigd from VxVM if memory serves)
I notice that iscsiadm will not work if those products have been
initialized before iscsiadm runs.  This is because iscsiadm is trying
to use a semaphore taken out by the various Veritas products.  I've
also noticed that iscsiadm leaks two semaphores per invocation when
this happens.

Do you have other non-Solaris products installed that may be tripping
up iscsi at reboot?  If you force a core dump, what does ::ipcs in mdb
say?  Can you "boot -m milestone=none" to avoid the need to boot from
CD?
