I am running Solaris 10 on a SPARC Sun Enterprise 420R server. It was working properly, when there was a problem with the power and it shut off without a proper shutdown.
When I boot I get the following error:
Code:
Error: svc:/system/filesystem/root:default failed to mount /boot (see 'svcs -x' for details)
[ system/filesystem/root:default failed fatally (see 'svcs -x' for details) ]
Requesting System Maintenance Mode
Console login service(s) cannot run
I then enter in my root password for system maintenance. When I run svcs -x, this is the output:
Code:
svc:/system/filesystem/root:default (root file system mount)
Reason: Start method exited with $SMF_EXIT_ERR_FATAL

The output for svcs -v is too long to type out here, but it lists all the dependent services, I presume.
The content of the file /etc/svc/volatile/system-filesystem-root:default.log is:
Code:
[start + 1.91s Enabled. ]
[start + 2.87s Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/fs-root") ]
ERROR: /sbin/mount -F ufs /boot failed, err=1
mount: Mount point cannot be determined
[ start + 3.12s Method "start" exited with status 95 ]
When I try to run /sbin/mount -F ufs /boot from the command prompt itself, I get a similar error... Mount point cannot be determined.
I have also tried running the command /sbin/mount -a which seems to work in terms of mounting the entire filesystem. At that point I can browse all data, but have no idea how to get the services started and server fully booted.
I have fun fsck and it runs completely with no prompts or errors.
Here is also a copy of my /etc/vfstab:
Code:
#device to mount #device to fsck mount point FS type fsck pass mount at boot mount options
fs - /dev/fs fs - no -
/proc - /proc proc - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5 /usr ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s4 /var/ ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7 /export/home ufs 2 yes -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /opt ufs 2 yes -
/devices - /devices devfs - no -
ctfs - /system/contract ctfs - no -
objfs - /system/object objfs - no -
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 /data ufs 1 yes -
Sorry for the formatting, I had to type it out since I can't get any files directly off of the server.
The last entry in the vfstab file is the only entry I added myself. It is a secondary hard disk that I mounted to the directory /data. Everything else was automatically created at install according to the partitions that I defined.
Any ideas Solaris experts?
