Operating Systems Solaris Newly relabelled disc unable to initialize to Solaris 8 login - please help Post 302878304 by DR_RALT on Thursday 5th of December 2013 12:46:17 PM

While the suggestions made are very good, our basic problem is that the system will not proceed to the Solaris login.

Please recall that the hard drives were taken to a windows environment for cloning where they apparently lost their labels. They were reportedly relabelled and can boot now, but the Solaris 8 Login doesn't come up.

According to the shop that's where we are at right now.

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to get back to the Solaris login without losing the programs and data.
