Operating Systems Solaris Newly relabelled disc unable to initialize to Solaris 8 login - please help Post 302877655 by DR_RALT on Monday 2nd of December 2013 07:10:19 PM

Question Newly relabelled disc unable to initialize to Solaris 8 login - please help

We are having a problem with initializing Solaris 8 installed on a Sunblade 1500 after having cloned the hard disc.

(The cloning process was done in a windows environment. Not a UNIX environment.)

Immediately after the cloning process neither hard disc would boot until the format label command was used to re-label the discs. Now they boot, but the previously installed Solaris 8 does not initialize to the login screen. Instead, the startup process dead ends in a black screen.

Any insight, suggestions, or comments would be greatly appreciated.
