Can I reboot SunBlade150 from CD?
I have a SunBlade 150 sparc machine. I get this box without root password. When I truned on the machine and typed ctrl -D to run under normal mode. The file system couldn't be mounted. If I don't care about current system and files on the machine and want to rebuild this box with solaris 10. Can I use solaris 10 CDs to reboot the machine and format the hard disk. Then install solaris 10 as new operating system. Please advise. If this is impossible, how can I get the root password? Can I contact Sun company for the support? Thanks for your help.
