Help with booting Solaris 9
Folks;
I have a Solaris 9 server that after power outage it won't come fully up and i was able to bring it up in single user mode and checked "/var/log/messages" & "/var/adm/messages" with nothing showing since Sept. 17.
i ran fsck and no luck.
I ran all tests from the OK prompt with no luck
it just keeps coming up to the point where it says: "System is coming up" after checking all file systems but it just hangs there and never go anywhere.
Any idea what could it be?
this is one of the important servers here
Help will be greatly appreciated

halt(1M) System Administration Commands halt(1M)
NAME
halt, poweroff - stop the processor
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/halt [-dlnqy]
/usr/sbin/poweroff [-dlnqy]
DESCRIPTION
The halt and poweroff utilities write any pending information to the disks and then stop the processor. The poweroff utility has the
machine remove power, if possible.
The halt and poweroff utilities normally log the system shutdown to the system log daemon, syslogd(1M), and place a shutdown record in the
login accounting file /var/adm/wtmpx. These actions are inhibited if the -n or -q options are present.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d Force a system crash dump before rebooting. See dumpadm(1M) for information on configuring system crash dumps.
-l Suppress sending a message to the system log daemon, syslogd(1M), about who executed halt.
-n Prevent the sync(1M) before stopping.
-q Quick halt. No graceful shutdown is attempted.
-y Halt the system, even from a dialup terminal.
FILES
/var/adm/wtmpx History of user access and administration information.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWcsu |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
SEE ALSO
dumpadm(1M), init(1M), reboot(1M), shutdown(1M), sync(1M), syslogd(1M), inittab(4), attributes(5), smf(5)
NOTES
The halt and poweroff utilities do not cleanly shutdown smf(5) services. Execute the scripts in /etc/rcnum.d or execute shutdown actions in
inittab(4). To ensure a complete shutdown of system services, use shutdown(1M) or init(1M) to reboot a Solaris system.
