I get this error and the system boots into single-user milestone.

I ran fsck, and after fixing the errors, it comes clean on the next run.

But my system still can't mount /var/run.

Can someone help?

Here's my /etc/vfstab

# cat /etc/vfstab
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
#
fd - /dev/fd fd - no -
/proc - /proc proc - no -

Thanks
 
Has anyone ever lost his /var/run, /var/adm, etc. directories??
 
Can you boot off the cdrom and mount up just the /var slice to see what is there?
