[SunHELP] Problem booting 2.7 after patching

[sunhelp at sunhelp.org]

Trying bringing the machine to Single User Mode and run fsck on /var. Mount
it manually and see if it is getting mounted. Once mounted , press cntrl+D
to proceed further.

Hi !

I applied the Patches for JDK 1.3.1 and installed JDK 1.3.1 on Solaris 7
box.
After rebooting the system it won't start and are giving the messages:

INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmp or /var/adm/utmpx

INIT: Failed write the utmpx entry:"  "

INIT: Failed write the utmpx entry:"  "

INIT: SINGLE USER MODE

ENTER RUN LEVEL (0-6, s or S):

And it does not matter what I write it will just return the same messages
over and over.

Anybody got a clue what happened ???
How can I get past this or do I need to scratch this box and start over ?

/ Adam
