That's weird. Have you successfully used the drive/enclosure on any other system, and have you previously used that scsi controller on this system? > I am trying to reinstall the boot program in order to be able to boot > this system. > > ok boot cdrom -s > # fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 > BAD SUPER BLOCK: FRAGS PER BLOCK OR FRAG SIZE WRONG > USE AN ALTERNATE SUPER-BLOCK TO SUPPLY NEEDED INFORMATION; > eg. fsck [-F ufs] -o b=# [special ...] > where # is the alternate super block.

Try using alt superblock 32, and perhaps run with -n first to get an idea how much trouble you might be in without accidentally making things worse: fsck -n -o b=32 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 > After fsck runs successfully, I was going to restore the boot program > from the installation cd as follows: > > # cp /platform/`uname -i`/ufsboot /mnt/platform/`uname -i` > > Any comments about this? You probably need to run: installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 > > Thanks, > Barry Good luck, -f http://www.blackant.net/ _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
