Hi, I have an ultra 30 system on which solaris 8 is installed.
unfortunately the path for shell in passwd file is entered incorrectly.
After going through all the archive possible The obvious solution to the
problem is getting the system to boot from a cdrom or floppy.
My problem is that I am using tip hardwire over serial port to connect
to the affected system. When executing "stop+A" the host system goes
into ok prompt instead of the affected. is there any sequence for
this.(tried different combinations with the tilda).

What I really m looking forward is a way that would solve my problem
with out taking the system down.

THNX in ADV.
