System hangs while init program runs. Solaris 9 1

[jhahs]

Having trouble stopping the system from running an /rc2.d/S96cspinit file. This file is crashing the box, allowing only console communication. Never makes it to the login prompt. I tried to boot from cd with -s and go to rc2.d and rename the file. System tells me is is read only even tho eveything shows 755. Is the file system mounted as read only at this point?
How can I get into the system and rename the file??

Have you tried booting to Single User mode with:
ok boot -s

This should not run any /etc/rc2.d scripts during startup.


Failing that, boot from CD as you described with '-s' and then mount your usual root/boot disk with:
# mount /dev/dsk/c?t?d?s? /a

Because you have booted from CD, it will be a Read-only filesystem, however /a is a read/write mount point on the 'CD filesystem'. Then rename the file with:
# cd /a/etc/rc2.d
# mv S96cspinit x96cspinit

Then shutdown and reboot to your usual root/boot disk, with:

# init 0
ok boot


I hope that helps.
