Can't open boot device
I have a real emergency. I have a Sun Fire V240 UltraSparc server and am connected via the Serial Mgmnt Port with a Laptop. I have been building an Oracle database on it for the past couple months, not getting very far along with it , when suddenly, the system had a fatal crash. I've lost the shadow file, the passwd file, and cannot even boot up the system now.. I have resorted to attempting to boot from the Operating System CD labeled: 1/06 Solaris 10 Oprerating System for x64/x86 DVD. Packaged with the server were also other DVD's, one labeled: 1/06 Solaris 10 Operating System for Sparc DVD. I don't know which one is correct, but neither one will allow me to get ahold of the op sys. I cannot get passed the password prompting except for the sc mode for ALOM, then from there, to the ok prompt, then I'm back where I started-->> having to reboot. That doesn't help me at all. Very little functionality available there. Here are a few error messages when booting up:
ok boot cdrom s
Boot device: /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/cdrom@0,0:f File and args: s
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
ok <prompt>
Please --->>somebody help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rfcomm_sppd
RFCOMM_SPPD(1) BSD General Commands Manual RFCOMM_SPPD(1)
NAME
rfcomm_sppd -- RFCOMM Serial Port Profile daemon
SYNOPSIS
rfcomm_sppd [-bhtS] -a address -c channel
DESCRIPTION
The rfcomm_sppd utility is a Serial Port Profile daemon. It can operate in two modes: client and server.
In client mode, rfcomm_sppd opens RFCOMM connection to the specified address server and channel. Once connection is established, the
rfcomm_sppd utility provides access to the server's remote serial port via stdin/stdout or via pts(4) interface if -t option was specified.
If the -S option is specified, rfcomm_sppd will operate in server mode and act as RFCOMM server, listening on ANY address and advertising a
virtual serial port via the sdpd(8) daemon. If -t options was specified, the server side of the virtual serial port is attached to a pseudo-
terminal. Otherwise the virtual serial port is attached to the stdin/stdout. rfcomm_sppd should be run as root in order to communicate with
sdpd(8) in this case.
The rfcomm_sppd utility opens both master and slave pseudo terminals. This is done to ensure that RFCOMM connection stays open until
rfcomm_sppd is terminated. The data received from the master pseudo terminal are sent over the RFCOMM connection. The data received from
the RFCOMM connection are written into master pseudo terminal. The application in its turn opens the slave pseudo terminal and operates on
it just like it would operate over the standard serial port.
The options are as follows:
-a address
In client mode, this required option specifies the address of the remote RFCOMM server. If this option is specified in server mode,
rfcomm_sppd will only accept connections from the Bluetooth device with address address. The address can be specified as BD_ADDR or
name. If name was specified then rfcomm_sppd utility will attempt to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).
-b Detach from the controlling terminal, i.e., run in background.
-c channel
In both client and server mode, this option specifies the RFCOMM channel to connect to or listen on. In server mode, the channel
should be a number between 1 and 30. If not specified, rfcomm_sppd will try to bind to ``wildcard'' RFCOMM channel number. The
actual RFCOMM channel will be obtained via getsockname(2) call and will be used to register Serial Port service with sdpd(8). In
client mode, the channel could either be a number between 1 and 30 or a service name. Supported service names are: DUN (for DialUp
Networking service), FAX (for Fax service), LAN (for LAN Access Using PPP service) and SP (for Serial Port service). If channel was
not specified then rfcomm_sppd utility will try to obtain RFCOMM channel for Serial Port service via Service Discovery Protocol from
the server.
-h Display usage message and exit.
-S Server mode; see DESCRIPTION.
-t Use slave pseudo tty. If not set stdin/stdout will be used. This option is required if -b option was specified.
FILES
/dev/pts/[num] slave pseudo terminals
EXIT STATUS
The rfcomm_sppd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
rfcomm_sppd -a 00:01:02:03:04:05 -c 1 -t
Will start the rfcomm_sppd utility and open RFCOMM connection to the server at 00:01:02:03:04:05 and channel 1. Once the connection has been
established, a pts(4) can be used to talk to the remote serial port on the server. rfcomm_sppd prints the name of the pts(4) to use on std-
out.
