While the suggestions made are very good, our basic problem is that the system will not proceed to the Solaris login.
Please recall that the hard drives were taken to a windows environment for cloning where they apparently lost their labels. They were reportedly relabelled and can boot now, but the Solaris 8 Login doesn't come up.
According to the shop that's where we are at right now.
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to get back to the Solaris login without losing the programs and data.
As far as I understand, there was a working system and another one you wanted to be a clone of the first one.
For some reason, while trying to clone the good disk to the unknown disk using the wrong tool, you broke the source disk label (i.e. partition table), then replaced it with an incorrect one.
If you have no third machine identically configured, it will be hard to know what was the original label looking like.
Yes, the file system is at risk, because its boundaries do not match with the partition.
You can get a root shell if you boot the box to single-user mode.
ok> boot -s
Send a break (Sun keyboard: hold Stop-key and hit A-key) to break to the ok> prompt.
The you can do
to get the file systems and the current partitions.
