the error should not be in solaris 10 anymore... but the workaround is the following line in /etc/system and in this case the /etc/system in the solaris miniroot file:
to set this you have to build a install server and chane the miniroot or build your own DVD with the changes to the miniroot.
you need this commands to unpack the miniroot and later pack it again:
don't know if this works... but you might want to try...
In the mean-time, I reset-all, and probe-scsi-all, rebooted.
I was able to boot to disk and get to a shell.
I added the line you mentioned and from the bug report to /etc/system and tried to install Solaris 10 again off the DVDs. Unfortunately, same stupid ino 0xc blocked message. I understand it is probably reading the one from the disk and not on the machine, but I wanted to verify for sanity.
Interestingly, I cannot boot openSolaris, or Aurora Linux. I get can't read label and magic number errors.
DN2, Thanks again for your reply. Popped the DVD out, put it in a system that I have a dvd writer on after re-pack. Looking at the contents, there is a /boot with two files in it hsfs.bootblock and sparc.miniroot. The directory you specify doesn't exist. I also looked at the CD image from the website and there is also a /boot, but with a boot_archive file and a /boot/solaris/bin with create_ramdisk and extract_boot_filelist which appear as small scripts. Also, 'unpack' is a command I am not aware of. Any thoughts? Thanks mate!
