how to recover rebooting SunFire

From: Dana Polyak (danap@p-cube.com)

        Hello,

        I really need help with a SunFire that keeps on rebooting on me
after I tried to install Solstice DiskSuite (mirroring). The system boots
up with some warnings and then, following a panic message
(panic[cpu0]/thread=10408000: mod_hold_stub: Couldn't load stub module
misc/strplhange ), it reboots again (and again, and again). I want to get
to the stage where I could reinstall Solaris. I was successful in getting
to the OK prompt by pressing STOP-A during the boot up sequence. However, I
can't execute 'boot cdrom'. I get a fatal error message "FATAL: system is
not bootable, boot command is disabled".

        I suspect that there is a problem with partitioning. However, at
this point all I want to do is to reinstall Solaris. I do not need to
recover anything on the system. Any ideas, hints? All the help would be
highly appreciated.

        Thank you very much for any help you.

        Sincerely,

        Dana Polyak
