Hi everyone,
I hope someone out there might be able to lend a hand with this...
I have an E250 with Solaris 9 12/02. Last night when I was trying to power
off the system, for some reason neither 'shutdown -i 5' nor 'init 5' worked.
What I did was synced the disks and performed a 'halt'... which could be
questionable, I know. But when I next tried to bring the system up, I
received the following OpenBoot output:
configuring IPv4 interfaces: hme0.
Hostname: superior
Setting netmask of hme0 to 255.0.0.0
configuring IPv4 interfaces: hme0.
hostname: superior

mount: mnttab is not this fstype.
mount: /var/run is already mounted, swap is busy.
or the allowable number of mount points has been exceeded
... and it would infinitely loop.
Initially, I noticed the overlapping swap slice, so I booted off the install
CD, mounted the root slice c0t0d0s0, and edited /etc/vfstab to remove the
offending swap slice c0t0d0s1. Now /etc/vfstab has no entries that mount to
'swap' at all. I rebooted the system and still received errors:

Once again this would infinitely loop. Anybody got any ideas on this?
