Anyway the boot archive in solaris 10 was contain kernel module and configuration file was needed for solaris to startup the system.

Error:

module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive error 3 bad or corrupt data while decompressing file

Workaround:

Boot up your solaris in "solaris failsafe mode", next solaris image will mount with writeable mode on "/a" mount point

sh> rm -f /a/platform/i86pc/boot_archive
sh> bootadm update-archive -R /a
sh> reboot
