Does anyone know how to login to Solaris by interupting the Boot Process and login at console, I think you type Cntrl-A at some point and then what?

A million thanks

Really need more info: are we talking a SPARC or AMD-based system? Are we talking a workstation or a server (and, if a server, are we talking a system equipped with an RSC, a LOM, ALOM or IPMI interface)?

Traditionally, this question is asked in regards to SPARC workstation or servers with an attached Sun keyboard. In such cases, you use the "STOP-A" key combination (on some keyboards, rather than "STOP" you use the "L1" key, instead).

Unfortunately, without knowing what your hardware setup is, it's hard to come up with an accurate answer.
