[SunHELP] HELP FR SUNBLADE1K!!!

[shivraj yadav]

hi friends,

I am having Sun Balde 1000 on which was loaded solaris
9. Now it seems to have crashed & im trying to reload
Solaris 8 without avail.

The System when booted goes to the login screen & gets
hung .. even the keyboard fails to respond .. tho the
entire boot process does not give any errors. When
booted in single user mode & i try to do an fsck ..
both normally & using alternate superblocks .. i get
the messgae "file system modified" at the end of each
run of 'fsck'.

when i tried to boot thru an Solaris OS 8 CD in order
to do an "fsck" i get the error message
"boot:cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
Enter file name [kernel/sparcv9/unix]: "
This message appears after it goes to the CD device
"boot device:/pci at 8,70000 ..... /disk at 6,0:f"

and the systems refuses to go further waiting for an
input from me.

Now what i fail to understand is when i am booting
from a CD why is it asking me to enter the kernel file
name ??
Can anyone please help me out of this ?? How do i
repair the existing fs or else how do i go about
installing a fresh OS on the system??

Thanks in advance,

Shivraj
