Hi,

Having problem logging in on my OEM Sparc. The login prompt doesn't seems responding (tested keyboard - OK). Altho, apps seemed to be running OK, I suspect that is caused by full /var.

I don't seems to be successful in booting the system via CD (to do boot cdrom -s) since I'm using a standard 101 keyboard.

I hope somebody out there has an idea on going about this.

Thanks in adv,
Jon

Try it:
ctrl + ] enter PROM mode(OK prompt)
mount -f ufs /mountpoint /dev/dsk/c?t?d?s?

then check anything you want.
