Can't login! no shell, no other users!

[fireant]

Guys,

Please help! I edited .dtprofile and .profile of root and there are yet no other users on my Solaris 2.6. I rebooted and now root can't login; the error message read: no shell or something.

How do I bypass this so I can log back in and edit the necessary files? Is there a single user mode like in Linux? I tried booting from the installation cd but it won't give me a prompt. Is there also a function key to press to do this??

I need this asap guys. It was really stupid not to have backed up those files and ran the at command

TIA,
Louie Louie C.

boot with Solaris CD

ok> boot cdrom -s

# mount /dev/dsk/c(x)t(x)d(x)s(x) /a

perhaps you need:

# fsck /dev/rdsk/c(x)t(x)d(x)s(x)

# cd /a

edit .dtprofile and .profile of root and reboot

regards ph
