Hi,
i made an unrecoverable error!!
I was configuring mirroring and i made a mistake on file system root.
So i tried to delete with metaclear -a.
I checked /etc/vfstab and it was /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0.
So i rebooted in order to see if there were errors and...
i wasn't able to boot!! Machine goes in dump because looking for mirror but it isn't there.
Of course i can't even boot in single-user mode because it's unable to mount /
I'm trying to boot from cdrom and hope to recover situation.
Can you help me?

I haven't encountered this, but I would try commenting everything from /etc/system starting with '* Begin MDD root info (do not edit) ' to '* End MDD database info (do not edit) ' out and reboot.

To do this, you will need to boot to single user mode from the cd, mount the device, then edit the file. Make sure to make a backup of the file first, so if it doesn't work or gets worse, you can follow the same steps and restore the old version.

THIS IS A SUGGESTION, NOT A TRIED SOLUTION...

you may also consider removing the entries from /etc/lvm/md.cf and /etc/lvm/md.tab files. Again, make a backup first.
