Hi, I'm attemting to upgrade Solaris 2.7 (11/99) to Solaris 8 (1/01) in a
Sun E450 and I get an error. Now I describe the steps that I follow:

    - I insert the CD 1 of 2 of Solaris Software 8 (1/01) and I do an Stop+A
with "boot cdrom"

    - We insert geographical region, the network configuration...

   - When it asks for an Actual or Initial installation I select Actual and
it shows something like this:

             " The version of Solaris (solaris 2.7) of the segment c0t0d0s0
can't upgrade.

              Fsck can't verify a system archives in the archives system
table (vfstab)"

I verified from console that c0t0d0s0 is mounted in "a/" and then I've done
an fsck and the partition not contents any errors

This is my "vfstab":

#device device mount FS fsck mount
mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot

#/dev/dsk/c1d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c1d0s2 /usr ufs 1 yes -

yes -
/dev/dsk/c6t0d3s0 /dev/rdsk/c6t0d3s0 /imagen3 vxfs 3
yes -

and this is the output of an mount command:

I've done the same steps with a Sun E250 and the result is Ok , Solaris is
upgraded ok to version 8

I need urgent help :(

Thanks
