Question boot load failed

I modified the partitions on my Solaris 10 disk using format command in "boot cdrom -s" mode and then tried rebooting with "reboot". It said "Boot load failed".
Why does this happen?
I have faced this error beforeSmilie and I went in for a fresh installation of the OS.Can anyone tell me the reason as to why this happens?Smilie

you can't (without problems) change the partitions after installation! to do something like taht you need a second disk and use liveupgrade ("lu"). maybe, if only your bootsector is missing, the command "installboot" may work...
