Code:

or, yes, you could,

Code:
 
cd /

umount /a
shutdown -h

Thank you for your reply.

Btw my root partition is mirrored now, so need to detach before mount /umount.

Code:
/dev/md/dsk/d100       4.9G   440M   4.4G     9%    /

That's interesting. Everyone should be able to boot from cdrom (CD or DVD) so this is odd.

What is the recent history of this system?

I see it still anounces itself as T200 and not T2000. Sun changed the name of this model sometime ago. T200 is old.

Furthermore, I've had loads of trouble with outdated OBP/firmware/hypervisor on this model. What versions of these are you running?

Have you done any recent upgrades which could have caused this?

Btw i have tried to upgrade exim on this machine and it complained about below error.

Quote:
ld.so.1: exim: fatal: libiconv.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
SO tried to fix the error and at that time this issue have started.

Don'ty forget the original issue seemed to be /sbin/init

Check for the existance of that on the harddisk root filesystem.

It said that it couldn't execute that file. Is it there?
How does it compare with the one on the DVD?
