Hey There,
Not super familiar with Solaris 11 or x86, but that error usually means driver problems or physical device path changes (possible with BIOS upgrade. If you can try this:
mount into single user regulary, off the net or from cdrom:
Quote:
boot -s
boot net -s
boot cdrom -s
|
then mount your primary hard drive on /tmp/a (or somewhere similar)
Quote:
mkdir /tmp/a
moutn /dev/dsk/cxtxdxsx /tmp/a
|
then cd into /tmp/a/etc and backup your path_to_inst file
Quote:
cd /tmp/a/etc
cp path_to_inst path_to_inst.bak
|
then get back to your ok> prompt (or x86's equivalent) and run
(-a will ask you questions and -r will attempt to recontruct your physical device paths and the logical device paths)
answer defaults to all questions and, when it notices that your path_to_inst is missing and would you like to recreate it, answer yes.
Then try your regular boot.
At the boot prompt, you can also try to do:
or
a good trick, if you're not sure what options you have available at the lower level is to use the sifting command:
will list all the commands available at the prom level with the word probe in them
Hope this helps, or, at least, gets you pointed in the right direction
Best wishes,
Mike
