metadb problem - server unable to boot

metadb problem - server unable to boot
Hi everyone
I have a problem. My configuration is as follows:
Sun 280R server
2 x internal disks
3 x state databases on disk 1
3 x state databases on disk 2
Disk 1 was giving errors, so I cleared the mirrors on it, deleted the state databases and replaced the disk. Before attaching the sub-mirrors and re-creating the state databases I rebooted the server and now it's unable to boot. With hindsight it was probably a stupid thing to do, but now I've got to fix it.
Please see the screenshot below:
Booting from a CD is no use, because I cannot access state databases with the metadb command.
Can anyone perhaps help me solve this problem?

CTL_CYRUSDB(8) System Manager's Manual CTL_CYRUSDB(8) * NAME
ctl_cyrusdb - perform operations common to all Cyrus databases SYNOPSIS
ctl_cyrusdb [ -C config-file ] -r [ -x ] ctl_cyrusdb [ -C config-file ] -c DESCRIPTION
Ctl_cyrusdb is used to perform various administrative operations on the Cyrus databases. Ctl_cyrusdb reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. The configdirectory option is used to determine the default location of the Cyrus databases. OPTIONS
-C config-file Read configuration options from config-file. -r Recover the databases after an application or system failure. Also performs database cleanup like removing mailbox reservations (and any associated mailbox files). All mailbox files are also checked to make sure the file format matches the configured database type in imapd.conf. If not, the file is automatically converted using the same logic as cvt_cyrusdb. -x Used with -r to recover the database only. (Prevents database cleanup). -c Checkpoint and archive the databases. Changes to the database which are part of committed transactions are written to disk. Also, a hot backup of the databases is made and inactive log files are removed. FILES
