hi, i'm really in troubles :( when i entered 'logging' in the vfstab, i've made a mistake. i put it a the end of the line, which is wrong, cause this are the mount options and i should put it to the field mount at boot. see my vfstab: #device device mount FS fsck mount mount #to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options # #/dev/dsk/c1d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c1d0s2 /usr ufs 1 yes - fd - /dev/fd fd - no - /proc - /proc proc - no - /dev/md/dsk/d1 - - swap - no - /dev/md/dsk/d0 /dev/md/rdsk/d0 / ufs 1 no - logging /dev/md/dsk/d4 /dev/md/rdsk/d4 /var ufs 1 no - logging /dev/md/dsk/d6 /dev/md/rdsk/d6 /local ufs 2 yes - logging /dev/md/dsk/d5 /dev/md/rdsk/d5 /web ufs 2 yes - logging swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes - after reboot my system, it goes only in the single-mode. i've tried to remount the system with: mount -m -o remount,rw / mount -O -o remount / but i always get this error-messages: # mount -m -o remount,rw / mount: warning: line for "/dev/md/dsk/d0" in vfstab has too many entries mount: warning: line for "/dev/md/dsk/d4" in vfstab has too many entries mount: warning: line for "/dev/md/dsk/d6" in vfstab has too many entries mount: warning: line for "/dev/md/dsk/d5" in vfstab has too many entries mount: mount point cannot be determined now i have a question: is there anything, what i can do to correct the wrong vfstab, so that i can boot in multiuser-mode. or is the system lost and i've to install the system again. please help me, i'm a sloaris newbie. thanks in advance, best regards, christian

If you can boot up from your Solaris CDROM, when the windows environment starts ignore the install screen and right mouse click on the background and open a terminal session. 1) Make a temp mount point: > mkdir /tmp/mntpnt 2) Mount the root partition it should be /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 > mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /tmp/mntpnt 3) CD to the /etc directory. > cd /tmp/mntpnt/etc 4) Edit your vfstab and fix the errors 5) Reboot That should do it, there may be another way but I can't think of any. Good Luck

You are the man! I did the same thing as the other guy did... Hosed up vfstab and couldn't do anything else... I followed your steps and I'm happy to say that I'm back up and running again. Thanks, SB
