Booting problem in solaris - Part 1

Single user mode can be achieved by any of the following methods :-

ok> boot -s (from root disk)
ok> boot net -s (from network)
ok>boot cdrom -s (from cdrom)
Rebooting with command: cdrom -s
Configuring the /devices directory
Configuring the /dev directory |
INIT: SINGLE USER MODE
#
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /mnt
Perform the required operation on mounted disk , now accessible through /mnt ,& unmount the hard disk after you are done ;

# umount /mnt
# reboot
