Dear all,

Rather stupidly I followed a document that told me how to mirror the
root disc on a Solaris 9 server. ( see
http://www.batcom-it.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=41
for more info.,).

Sadly, after making these changes the sytstem never survived the
reboot. DOes anyone know how to resurrect this? I got this:

# lockfs -fa && init 6
[root@enif]/$
INIT: New run level: 6
The system is coming down. Please wait.
System services are now being stopped.
Print services already stopped.
Nov 8 11:35:10 enif syslogd: going down on signal 15
The system is down.
syncing file systems... done
rebooting...
