Hi .. I just upgraded my motherboard and cpu from a Tyan Titun
board with an AMD 233MHZ cpu to an ASUS A7V with a 900 MHZ Duron
cpu. Solaris 8 starts to boot ok but my first clue of a problem
was it went into the DCA screen instead of booting off of my first drive.
If I select the hard drive to boot it will start to boot and recognizes
my hostname and than has a problem doing fsck on /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0
which is my root partition. It tells me to run fsck maually. I can
go into single user and list the files and directories in the root
partition. If I boot off of the cdrom and break out to root prompt
I can fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 and it comes back clean.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Never mind .. I fixed it. I booted off of the Install CD and mounted
the /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 partition and deleted /etc/path_to_inst file and
copied the one created in the /tmp directory when th CD booted.
Something in the device names was screwed up from the different
IDE controller.
