Kashif,
Do not change the vfstab options to yes. The system/kernel is not ready to 
mount them
at boot.
Your file system vfstab entries should look like this:
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0    /       ufs     1   no   -
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s6    /usr    ufs     2   no   -
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s7 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s7    /opt    ufs     3   yes  -
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s1       -               -       swap    -   no   -

You have already confirmed the system hard drive target as "c0t3d0" in a 
previous email.
If your vfstab file system entries entries look like the above example I would 
try the following.
I am speculating that this WP51 is not the original workstation that the backup 
tape
was made from and the hardware complement is different.

1. Boot off the DAY0 CDROM.
    ok>  boot cdrom
2. Mount the root file system.
    #  mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /mnt
3. Initialize the "/etc/path_to_inst" file.
    #  cp /tmp/root/etc/path_to_inst  /mnt/etc
4. Recreate the "/dev" devices tree for this workstation.
    #  cd /mnt
    #  rm /mnt/dev/dsk/* 
    #  rm /mnt/dev/rdsk/*
    #  drvconfig -r /mnt -p /tmp/root/etc/path_to_inst
    #  disks     -r /mnt
5. Un-mount the root file system and perform a reconfigure reboot.
    Make sure you get al clean file system check. (As seen in your previous 
email).
    #  cd /cdrom
    #  sync /mnt
    #  umount /mnt
    #  fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
    #  reboot -- -r

I changed the CDROM media and the booted from a new version 4.3 DAY 0 CDROM. 
When I tried mount, it worked. I listed /etc/vfstab file. It goes like this
 
both / and /usr ' mount at boot option given as no. Should I change to yes and 
try rebooting.

-------------------------------------> Kashif,It is difficult to try and 
diagnose this tye of problem remotely.When booted from CDROM I would try to 
verify I have a valid formattedsystem hard drive installed in the workstaiton. 
For example:1. Run the "format" command and verify valid hard disk/target 
install like "c0t3d0".(Use CNTRL-D to exit without making changes to the 
drive)2. If your uncomfortable running the format command try and verify the 
disktry using the "prtvtoc" command, for example:# prtvtoc 
/dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0The output should reflect the partitioning as described in 
the B0193ND.3. If the format appears correct perform an "fsck" on "usr" 
partition.# fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0s
 64. Have you try mounting one of the other partitions like root or opt?Root is 
slice 0, opt slice
