Boot failure

I have installed Solaris 10 OS in Sun Virtual Box that uses x86 32 bit system. After an abnormal shutdown i'm getting the following message on the console when i try to boot.

Code:

SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_127128_11 32-bit

WARNING: The following files in / differ from the boot archive:
    changed /kernel/drv/md.conf

The recommended action is to reboot and select the "Solaris failsafe" option from the boot menu. Then follow the prompts to update the boot archive. To continue booting at your own risk, you may clear the service by running" "svcadm clear system/boot-archive"

When i reboot and select the "solaris failsafe" option as mentioned on the console, i'm getting the following message.

LEARN ABOUT SUNOS

cvcd

cvcd(1M)						  System Administration Commands						  cvcd(1M)

NAME

       cvcd - virtual console daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /platform/platform_name/cvcd

DESCRIPTION

       The virtual console daemon, cvcd, is a server process that supports the network console provided on some platforms. The cvcd daemon accepts
       network console connections from a remote host (only one host at any given time). Console input is read from this connection and  forwarded
       to cvc(7D) by way of cvcredir(7D).

       Similarly,  console  output is read from cvcredir(7D) and forwarded across the network console connection. If cvcd dies, console traffic is
       automatically rerouted through an internal hardware interface.

       The cvcd daemon normally starts at system boot time. Each domain supports only one cvcd process at a time.

       Caution:        On Sun Enterprise 10000 domains, cvcd uses a configuration file (/etc/ssphostname) to determine the name of the	host  from
		       which  network console connections are allowed. If the remote console host is renamed, you must edit the configuration file
		       to reflect that change.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       platform_name	       The official Sun platform name used in packaging and code. For example, for Sun Fire 15K servers, the platform_name
			       would	 be SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000.

NOTES

       The cvcd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/system/cvc

       Administrative  actions	on  this  service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
       vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
