[Sunhelp] Solaris 2.7 and patches won't boot (fwd)

[Steve Pribyl]

Hey all,

I have a sparc 5 with a fresh load of solaris 2.7 and the latest sun
recommended patches.

It now won't boot.
Here is the error I get.

INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmp or /var/adm/utmpx
INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:"   "
INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:"   "
INIT: SINGLE USER MODE
ENTER RUN LEVEL (0-6, s or S)

I have load this box twice, with the same result.
I can boot of the cdrom and mount root and the file is there and dir and
file perms are correct.

Anyone have any ideas what to check or what patch broke my box.

Thanks
Steve Pribyl
