I couldnt get my hands on my solaris 2.6 cd soo i used solaris 7 cd to boot to single user mode. I typed

boot cdrom -s

it bought me to my root prompt , but when i typed fsck.....nothing happened. It was as though it couldnt go ahead with fscking. it just bought up the prompt again, immediately after typing it.

Maybe i am not doing it right, how do i run fsck ( command syntax and all) from single user mode prompt. And is ok that i use solaris 7 Cd to try and boot up my solaris 2.6 box?

This is realy urgent. Thx.

First, you do not neet a CDROM to boot single user.
Use: boot [bootdisk] -s to boot single user.

Second when you boot from CDROM the kernel does not know about your disk configuration. so when you use fsck from CDROM you need to adress the disk.

like: fsck /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s# -n (checking only)
or : fsck /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s# -y (Fixing the problems, hopefully)

Where # is the correct number.

I hope this helps you
