Tried fsck and fixed all reported errors. Then did "set-defaluts" at the ok> prompt, reset-all once more then boot up in single-user mode but failed again!
Other thought??
Ok, now I'm a little confused...
You can boot the box to multi-user mode to look at /etc/defaultdomain but not on single user mode? It wouldn't be on the CD, it would be on your hard drive.
what I was saying is that, in my experience of a box booting up and stopping forever after the hostname is displayed in the boot process, the reason why that happened was because the box was part of a NIS domain, which is declared in /etc/defaultdomain, and the server could not see the domain master, therefore it hung forever waiting for the master to respond.
