Wrench Machine is not booting [Sovled]

Dear all

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have Solaris 10 installed on an M5000 SPARC machine. While rebooting it, we are faced with the following message then the OK prompt:
Code:

Rebooting with command: boot kernel/sparcv9/unix

Something munged a boot file.

Kernel directory or unix kernel file in this directory is not there or not executable. Maybe deleted during fsck or deleted by mistake. Copy it from your cdrom or restore from the backup.

Single user boot - something like this maybe:
Code:
cp /platform/`uname -i`/kernel/unix    /mnt/platform/`uname -i`/kernel

ok what about
Code:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.

Is this also related to the fact the the kernel is lost? or is that a different issue??

ya, that's the same thing. Basically, the OS is lost, missing or corrupted. That's almost always bad. Follow the directions he posted above to start your troubleshooting.

I logged into the server via cdrom in single user mode and i found that the unix fie is there and it is executable. Yet the same message appears when trying the normal boot. Any suggestions?
