pw500a not finding device at srm

I've been running RH6.1 on my DEC500a (miata). I turned it off for about two
weeks and when I turned it back on and gave the 'boot dkc0' at the SRM
prompt which has always worked in the past, I get ...

device DKC0 is invalid
usage is boot ...

Seeing that SRM knows nothing about the file system, what might have
happened for it to know longer find the adapter id of C, or the right
partition I think that means. I'm sure the file system is still ok, but
maybe a mbr or something got messed up? It's like it's not seeing my scsi
anymore. Anyone have any ideas on how to get it back to booting? Any help is
greatly appreciated.
