Solaris 8 booting from wrong device

Hi,

I'm trying to boot solaris 8 box and it seems to boot off from wrong device:

Code:

ok boot -s
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/disk@0,0:a  File and args: -s
SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_108528-20 64-bit
Copyright 1983-2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All rights reserved.
ifconfig: plumb: hme0: Bad file number
moving addresses from failed IPv4 interfaces: hme0 (couldn't move, no alternative interface).
 Hostname: myhost
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1: No such device or address
The / file system (/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0) is being checked.
Can't open /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.

WARNING - Unable to repair the / filesystem. Run fsck
 manually (fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0). Exit the shell when
done to continue the boot process.


 Type control-d to proceed with normal startup,
(or give root password for system maintenance):

However when I boot from cdrom I get the following:

Code:

# echo | format
Searching for disks...done


AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
       0. c1t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
          /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/sd@0,0

How can I get the server to boot from correct device?

Thanks!

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
