Hi, Thanks to Casper's quick response : The DCA floppy alone is not sufficient; but a Solaris 8 (1of2) or S9 (1of2) or S10 (1ofmany) CD should suffice for single user boot and mounting the root device At least I know it's not the Installation CD that we need here for password recovery.

BTW, which CD is that? Is that CD1/3, 2/3 or ?. I suppose a Sol 10 or Sol 9 x86 can be used to do password recovery for a Sol 8, right? Presumably, just like Sparc, the later the CD, the more up-to-date drivers it has.
