I have a Sparc 20 with SunOS 4.1.4, it's rarely used but just when
it's needed something happened to it. The /dev directory was removed (I
didin't do it, but I need to fix). Anyway, I know how to fix with
solaris: boot cdrom -s, mount c0t0d0sX /mnt, cd /mnt, ufsrestore from
tape. However, I don't know how to in SunOS.
I've read about booting from cdrom and tape, installing miniroot,
but I haven't seen any how to on it. I believe you have to boot off a
tape or cdrom and somehow install miniroot to /tmp and then boot to the
miniroot, mount the filesystem,
. I'm borrowing a SunOS 4.1.3 cd tomorrow (Can't find 4.1.4),
but don't know the steps to boot to miniroot. I have backup tapes. How is
this done?
Thanks, for any help you can provide.
DJ
