How to reinstall SUNWpr on Solaris 10 x86

Guys,

In a (very unlucky) attempt to minimize a Solaris 10 x86 install, I've
removed the SUNWpr package (Netscape Portable Runtime Interface), and now
when I try to login (either via ssh or at the console) I get the following
error:

login: myusername
login: open_module: /usr/lib/security/pam_authtok_get.so.1 failed: ld.so.1:
login: fatal: libnspr4.so: open failed: No such file or directory.

Basically, by removing SUNWpr I've also removed libnspr4.so from my system
(how bad?)

Now, booting "Solaris failsafe" from the grub menu, I've put the Solaris 10
disc 1 of 4 (which contains SUNWpr) in the CD drive,

# iostat -En returns c1t0d0 as my cdrom

but when I try to mount it with

# mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 /cdrom

it returns

NOTICE: hs_findhsvol:bread: error=(5)
mount: I/O error
mount: cannot mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2

So, I'm a bit stuck now ;-(

Any idea about how to get that CD mounted to reinstall the SUNWpr package
which contains libnspr4.so ?

Thanks in advance
