Solaris 8.2 Bad magic number
I'll keep it fairly straight forward. I work with a Solaris server and magically today it decided to take a dump on me. At first it give a long list of files that couldn't be acessed before terminating the boot process and returning to the 'ok' prompt. Booting in single-user mode allowed me to run a fsck and there were no noticable issues. After that the errors didn't return, instead I got a different one:
"Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Cannot open /pci@1f,0/pci@2/scsi@4/disk@0,0:a
panic - boot: ufsboot: cannot determine filesystem type of root device
Program terminated"
I confirmed all the envs were properly set and I could still bring it up in single-user mode to confirm the files were where they were supposed to be, based upon memory. Any help would be appreciated.
