[SunHELP] /usr partition is corrupted in Solaris8

[Rob Bains]

One way to do this is to boot the machine from Solaris CD, run fsck on
the /usr device (not the fielsystem, so it would be /dev/dsk/cxtxdxsx
where x is the appropriate id). Then try to mount the device on some
temporary mount point and see if you can mount it and access your data
from it.

HTH.

/usr partition in Solaris8 / Ultra-10 is corrupted.
Now I cannot use any command. How can I recover /usr.
Machine is in single user mode.

Thanks,
Shahzad
