I want to edit my passwd file in single user mode and attempt to do it by:

1. boot cdrom -s
2. mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt

When I do this I get the following errors:

mount: I/O error
mount: cannot mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0

The funny thing is that on previously installations of sol 8 I could mount the hard disk in this way without problems. Ideas why?

hi

it,s not possible to mount the slice if o.s is there on the slice.previously you must have mounted some other slice.

Check whether you are using same id for HDD and CDROM. bcoz when u r booting with the CDROM u are not sure about HDD detection. do one thing just start ur m/c and then press stop+A to halt the m/s on open boot promt.
search and find out whether ur hdd is detected or not.. OR check whether the file system on ur HDD is in good condition. try fsck on that with -F option.

Try before mounting the format u\tility and
see what id the disk is ...
c0t0d0 or c1t0d0....
fsck /dev/rdsk/cxt0d0sy (x & y for proper controller id and slice number)
then mount that device to a mount point
and vi the shadow file..
