Exclamation Urgent! Cannot boot to Solaris Unix 2.8
OK! I am a newbie so please give me step by step details on what i need to do! I don't know what a stop key is. I think it is the one that looks like a spade. I don't know. Let me know what to do and I will be so grateful! The system is a Sun Fire system not an Intel system.

I mistakingly deleted my /etc directory yesterday when trying to free some space. I rebooted the server this morning and of course I cant get in to the OS. Well, when i boot the system, the monitor stays in power saving mode. How can I get this system to boot to a cd without seeing anything on the screen. I inherited this system so I haven't looked in the BIOS for the device boot order or anything. I installed Solaris 2.8 on this system using the boot cdrom a while ago, but I don't have access to see this prompt.

In the meantime, I will continue to look on the Internet for the answer to my problem.

Any help give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
