As jlliagre also suggests, do you have your install CDROM?

Most people I know can't find them in emergencies, and with a 1998 model, I would be surprised if you can find yours.

Do you have an install disk or a bootable version of Solaris 8 anywhere?

If not, do you have another machine handy? If so, what is it?

In theory... but when you ssh into a box I believe the exec process will go to disk again to look for libs.

I could be wrong... but I have never got anything to work ever when I did this, and I have done it. I have removed the /lib directory before and I can't even get most commands to work.

And, as the poster confirms, he can't get in that way so the point is moot.
