Hi,

Thanks to the guys thats been helping out on the list.

I have Sparcstation 4 thats has got a failed hard disk.
The system can not boot but I have been able to put the data on it on
another hard disk but I can't get it to boot by just changing the boot
device in the Open boot PROM.
On boot I get " The file just loaded doesn't not appear to be executable".
I found out this is because I need to run Installboot.
My problem with this is that my system does not have cdrom drive, is there
a way I can use boot to the single user mode over the network to do this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

NB: I am runnig solaris 5.6 on a sparc station4.
