System recovery help needed ...

Help!!

One of my "power" users managed to mess up the /var/ld/ld.config
file on my Solaris 8 system so now we are unable to run any
dynamically linked executables. I am able to boot single user
but cannot run mv or rm to fix the problem.

Thus my current plan is to boot from the install CD to single
user, mount /var and fix things. I've successfully booted from
the install CD, but now am having difficulties mounting /var.
I am unsure of the device to use...

My system is a V880 with disks mirrored via disksuite. The /var
partition is /dev/md/dsk/d8. Can someone help me figure out what
to mount so that I can remove that file and get my system operational
again? Alternately if someone can suggest another fix, let me know.

Thanks so much,
Debbie
