I am able to mount the file system but now the question is why it is not able to find basic system libraries when all of them are present in the /lib or /usr/lib. I think some how system is not able to find them so may be i need to find what controls the path for looking system libraries. For ex ld config type.

Currently there is no file under /var/ld/ld.config .. should i try creating it ?

No.. As I told you..

I will show you my experience when I had this same issue

Booting to milestone "milestone/single-user:default".

WARNING: The following files in / differ from the boot archive:

    changed /kernel/drv/emcp.conf

The recommended action is to reboot to the failsafe archive to correct
the above inconsistency. To accomplish this, on a GRUB-based platform,
reboot and select the "Solaris failsafe" option from the boot menu.
On an OBP-based platform, reboot then type "boot -F failsafe". Then
follow the prompts to update the boot archive. Alternately, to continue
booting at your own risk, you may clear the service by running:
"svcadm clear system/boot-archive"
