After installing the latest Oracle CPU patch(October), my V440 system will not boot. I've attempted serveral fixes, including one that say the ufsboot file(we don't use ZFS) may be corrupt so it should be replaced.
I cannot find it on the installation DVD or the any of my systems(including operational ones). The path is supposedly /platform/`uname -m`/ufsboot , but it isn't there.
Am I missing the file, or perhaps it isn't used on 64bit systems?
Hi,
I have a solaris 10 system ( confirmed by the /etc/releases file and uname -a ).
But, I have no /etc/inet/static_routes file and if I try to add a persistent route with route -p add then it tells me that -p isn't a valid option.
Can anybody tell me why my Sol10 system isn't acting like... (0 Replies)

I know that Sun make s a version of Solaris for Sparc platforms and also an x86 (Intel/AMD) release of Solaris. Can an application that runs on Solaris/Sparc also run on a PC running the x86 release of Solaris? Would a different release be required or any re-compling of the application?

First of all, I want to salute everybody.
Since a week ago I put myself many troubles. :)
I decide to install Solaris 7, in a sun sparcstation 5, with raid5.
And I don't know almost anything about unix systems, not only Solaris. :)
I want to install mysql, apache, php4.

installboot(1M)installboot(1M)NAME
installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition
SYNOPSIS
installboot bootblk raw-disk-device
The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition.
The ufs boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be
found using the -i option of uname(1).
The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It is not supported on the architecture. users should use installgrub(1M) instead.
bootblk The name of the bootblock code.
raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is read-
able and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive.
Example 1: Installing UFS Boot Block
To install a ufs boot block on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use:
example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
/usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs
directory where ufs boot objects reside.
/platform/platform-name/ufsboot
second level program to boot from a disk or CD

The installboot utility fails if the bootblk or openfirmware files do not exist or if the raw disk device is not a character device.
