I'm new to the Sun world and have found myself in a tight spot. I have a Sun V240, someone accidently wiped the /etc directory. Therefore I cannot boot. I need to recover the data, but I cannot find a way to get into the drive. I do not understand why there is no video card installed as well as no cd-rom. Again I'm new.

Is there a way to try and recover the data through the mgt interface or the iLO? Or how can I boot to a LiveCD of some sort? Will the box recognize a USB CD-ROM drive to boot from?

Thanks,

You will need to boot up in single user mode from the CDROM. This faq should help you faq60-1568
