Solaris

hi,

bymistaken I had moved all files and dir of bin (/usr/bin) dir in /usr. then I reboot the system.now I am not able to work with OS because it is not finding any bin file.

So I thought to reinstall the solaris 9 on sunBlade 150 but I am not able to go in boot section.So can anyone tell me what I will do or how can I boot the system ?

Please reply soon

what do you mean boot section? are you talking about the ok prompt (OBP)?

on which step are you now? let to see what is on your terminal..

when I am starting the machine,it is showing messages
loadkeys not found
init not fount
who : not found
uname: unknown

and then asking the console login but not taking it.

press "stop + a" if you are with a sun keyboard. this should bring you to the "ok" prompt. insert the solaris install media into your cd/dvd drive and enter "boot cdrom" at the ok prompt...

This would take you thru fresh installation process and would wipe out all your data.
I would suggest the below workaround.
boot cdrom -s from the ok prompt.
In single-user mode, mount your root fs "/" to /a or /mnt
Restore the whole of /usr directory from tape (backup) to /mnt/usr
then umount /mnt
run fsck on all the filesystem
bring the system to init 0 again (ok promt)
Then issue a normal boot command and see if it works first
