Hi,

I have a Solaris 8 server with several external disks connected to it.
I want to permanently remove those disks.
I commented them out from the vfstab and the dfstab and I made sure no
startup script needs anything from them. Then I halted the machine,
turned the disks off and then ran boot -r.
I tried this many times but the machine just doesn't want to boot without
the external disks. As soon as I reconnect the disks, the machine boots..!

The OS is on the internal mirrored disks as well as all needed scripts and
applications.

Does anybody have a clue? Why doesn't the machine want to boot without the
external disks??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Michele
