Sun Boot error with SunOS 5.6 Help!

Hello,

We have a SunOS 5.6 system that works as a Real Time Interface to make work an engraving machine. Today we started the computer and showed the next message:

Code:
Boot device: disk:a  File and args:
SunOS Release 5.6 Version Generic_105181-39 [UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0]
Copyright (c) 1983-2003, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

WARNING - Unable to repair the /var filesystem. Run fsck
manually (/fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3). Exit the shell when
done to continue the boot process.

/sbin/rcS: /sbin/sulogin: cannot execute
resuming system initialization
Killed
/sbin/rcS: /usr/sbin/setmnt: cannot execute

After that message, nothing else happens, the keyboard doesn't respond.
The message shows that I should run the "fsck" command manually. But I don't know how to do that. I have checked the manuals but nothing tells about running commands manually during boot.

Please help me by letting me know how to run the command and why this happened.

Your help will be highly appreciated as I don't know nothing about this OS.

Thank you and have a good day!

For keyboard to work,

a. If you have graphical screen then you must have SUN keyboard connected to Server's k/b port

b. if you have text console then, sun keyboard must be disconnected and serial-A (or console port) must be connected to a text based terminal (e.g., vt100) or to any terminal emulation software (like hyperterminal etc)

Your disk is broken.
So much broken that it cannot execute the sulogin to an emergency prompt, where you could run the fsck command.
The fsck seems useless anyway, because it can only repair software damage. But you have hardware damage (disk not responding).

If you have any Solaris CD/DVD, try booting it into Single User mode, the command is boot cdrom -s.

Then, proceed to run the fsck utility on the disk with problems. Use fsck -y to automatically correct any errors without tipping "y" over and over.

Hope you can solve your problem,

D.A
