[Sunhelp] Disk Failure

[Fuerst, Robert C. (Chris)]

Same thing - file system is not okay and is read only
Keeps coming up with read-only file system highlighted
I run fsck - gives me one superblock error to fix - I reply yes and I can't
do a thing
I am going to try to rebuild it from the CD.  I looked at the messages file
and it's filled with read and write errors since the 19th.  I think it's
toast

	Got a Solaris install cd around?  "boot -s cdrom" to get a
single-user
	shell off the cdrom, make a partition in /tmp, and mount your HD up
to
	that...
