Windows 7: How to Prevent the Mouse from Waking your PC
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt
says already mounted and when i try to do cd /mnt
similar when trying to mount /a already exists and when i try to unmount it says always busy
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt

similar when trying to mount /a already exists and when i try to unmount it says always busy</ul>
btw, thanks for original tip. it saved me from hours of reinstall.
Bob, If you still can't see your boot disk, it may be called something different than c0t0d0s0. You can run iostat -En to find the names of disks, although this won't tell you which slice you need.

From spanish frikies DIELab
I consoled in because its off the network. I used the aforementioned process to boot by cdrom, but have had a 'NULL' result. after removing the password entry from /etc/shadow and saving (wq!), I issued an init 6 to reboot. from this point it asked me for the user login (no problem, its root so i typed root) but when just hitting enter when propted for password I get Login incorrect. :?:
please help
My SunFire V440 won't boot from Solaris 9 Installation CDROM, Solaris 9 CD 1 of 2, or from Solaris 9 DVD. (boot cdrom)
In all cases, it gets through the POST, initialises all memory, tells me the boot file and device, gives me the spinner and then tells me it cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
That's the 64-bit file, so I've tried giving it the normal location of the 32-bit file:
kernel/unix
It cannot open that file either.
All I want to do is wipe its disks before sending it back to the leasing company.
It has a working Solaris OS onboard. Any ideas how I can boot from the CD/DVD or how I can wipe the disks while booted from one of them?
Thanks,
cla.
