Use boot -s from the installation CD. You should probably find out what's wrong before trying to repair it. An effort to repair a problem you don't understand could well make matters worse!! What error do you get when it fails to boot?      |

| Re: Solaris 8 wont boot now - rescue disk or something? You may still be able to boot into single user without the CD. From the 'ok' prompt type boot -s You will need root access for this. If you can get in attempt to fsck the disk(s). fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 Depending on your hardware configuration the above command may work or not. Check to see how many controllers and disks you have.
