Solaris Boot CDROM root login

Comment:

Hi. I have a distant Ultra 5, booted; ok> boot -s cdrom They brought up networking manually # ifconfig hme0 plumb # ifconfig hme0 inet 209.xx.xx.xx broadcast + up # route add default 209.xx.xx.xx 1 Now I can get a login prompt from remote box, but since I'm 'not on the console' I cant log in as root. root is the only account /etc/passwd has on Installation CD. :( /etc is the cdrom (ro), so editing /etc/default/login is __out__ Q: Is there any other way to allow a remote root login while booted this way? This is __out__ of the question: # mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a # chroot /a /sbin/sh # vi /etc/default/login (/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 is sick, fsck will not repair, need to get in remotly as root do so some sysadmin!) Any help would be great!!!
