Not able to run fsck on root file system

I am trying to root disk mirroring on SunFire V210 Server. There are two disks on this server c1t0d0 and c1t1d0 . I completed all the steps and I updated the vfstab file too. After I have updated the vfstab file I run df -h command but could not see the changes i made in vfstab. Suddenly the server got rebooted automatically and I could not boot the server. So I put the solaris 10 cd and did boot cdrom -s and mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a . Then I tried to do the fsck /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 but could not do that. c1t0d0s0 has the mount point /. Could any one give me a hint or suggestion on why I cant run fsck command.thanks in advance.

Code:
# fsck /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
NOTICE: /a: unexpected free inode 1476, run fsck(1M)
NOTICE: /a: unexpected free inode 1476, run fsck(1M)
NOTICE: /a: unexpected free inode 1476, run fsck(1M)
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 IS CURRENTLY MOUNTED READ/WRITE.
CONTINUE? y
