/proc can't be mounted at boot

Greetings:

I was in the process of moving our Oracle server this morning (Ultra
2/Solaris 7) and it hung on an autofs mount on shutdown. (That's a side
issue I'll work on later...) As in similar situations I eventually (after
waiting about 10 minutes) Stop-A'ed and sync'ed the machine, then proceeded
to move it. When I try to reboot it I get the following response:

"SunOS Release 5.7...
[copyright notice]
configuring network interfaces: hme0
Hostname: oraserve

Illegal Instruction
Illegal Instruction
Illegal Instruction
WARNING: /proc could not be mounted
Illegal Instruction

WARNING - fatal error from fsck - error 132

Unable to repair the / filesystem. Run fsck manually
(fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0) System will reboot when you exit the shell"

It then gives the standard "Hit control-d to continue or enter root password
for maintenance mode" message. When I enter the password, it immediately
reboots. I believe that there is an "Illegal Instruction" message displayed
before it reboots, but it flashes up very quickly, so I can't be sure what
it says.

I have booted off the CD-ROM, and the /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 partition fsck's
just fine. To be on the safe side, I fsck'ed all of the partitions in the
vfstab, and they are all OK. I can also mount them when booted off of the
CD-ROM.

Searching Google and SunSolve, the only similar issue I could find was this
one:
http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2002-March/002671.html
but it was resolved by fsck'ing the / partition.

Any ideas?

Thanks and IWS,
Charles
