Hi all.
We have an Ultra 1 on which someone issued the following command in /
mv *.html *
This caused the machine to hang and a reboot was done. When the machine
came up, the screen shows the following error:
Boot load failed
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
>From the archive and google, we understand that the bootblk is damages.
We have tried the following remedies to solve the problem
boot cdrom -s
fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
check that there is no restoresymtable file
intallboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
umount /a
fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
init 6
This unfortunately did not bring up the machine.
We have tried booting from Install cdrom and disk 1 of 2
We have also tried boot disk:0
System is Solaris 8
Openboot 3.5
Any more suggestions before we reinstall?
