well, i'm trying to learn something about of unix, after I've used linux for some months, so if I would made a fresh install of solaris I won't learn anything about the solaris maintainence practises. That's all .
Not true, first do a proper installation of a good OS instance first. That will help you to learn, if you're going to continue troubleshooting wih this w/o any knowledge, you're going to get tired out of it.

I tried anyway to type bootadm update-archive -R /mnt but I have this message back
Btw, did you do mount /dev/dsk/c0d1so /mnt before executing the above?

Trust me, pls go into re-installing the OS with Solaris 10 U8 for x86

hi finally i managed to do the operation , but this doesn't solved the problem , I even searched on google until I find that the "-k" flag can be add to the kernel line , and I did.The output cannot mount root path ,and other thing you can see in the image, anyway I think that will follow your advice, and start again with a new installation of solaris, since it seems I can' t restore the system with my knowledge. Thanks
