I have replaced the nvram on my Sun V480 and now the system stops at the "ctrl-d for normal startup, or root password for maintenance" part. The nvram auto-boot=true, but it still stops here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

it would help if you post the output from that boot, so we could see the error message that drops the solaris to the maintenance mode...

regards pressy

There is no error given. I get the "The system is coming up. Please wait." message then it comes up with the "Type ctrl-d to proceed with normal startup, (or give root password for system maintenance):". Once I press ctrl-d everything after that is fine.

I have double checked my nvram settings and the auto-boot?=true is set.

post your boot-output, solaris doesn't boot into single-user if there is nothing wrong (except you boot with "boot -s" or manipulate your /etc/inittab). without the output we can't help you....

hmm... perhabs it's solaris 10 .... bit less messages on the boot... try:
{}OK> boot -m verbose
that will change the boot behaviour from parallel to serial with an output...
