SUMMARY: system fails to boot after /usr/lib/ld.so.1 file is overwritten

Thanks to all and especially Anthony D'Atri  for getting me going in the
right direction  ( I didn't see the forest for the trees).

 

Original
problem was while rebooting I received the following

 

Sun (TM)
Enterprise 250 (UltraSPARC-II 400MHz), No Keyboard

OpenBoot 3.16, 512 MB
memory installed, Serial #13773469.

Ethernet address 8:0:20:d2:2a:9d, Host
ID: 80d22a9d.

 

Rebooting with command: boot

Boot device: disk0  File
and args:

SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_117350-52 64-bit

"Everytime I would copy the file from
/a/etc/lib/ld.so.1 to
/a/usr/lin/ld.so.1 and reboot the original problem
re-occurred, I would
boot back into single user mode and check the file and
it was once again
the corrupted from yesterday???"  Mirror issue...
The following was done and the system is up and working fine now.

 

Boot
into single user from cdrom 

Fsck on c0t0d0s0 ( actually all disks that
were mirrored originally )

Mount c0t0d0s0 as /a  and did the following
Copy /a/etc/lib/ld.so.1 /a/usr/lib/ld.so.1

 

   Make copy of original
/a/etc/system

 

   Edit /a/etc/system and comment out   *
rootdev:/pseudo/md@0:0,100,blk


 

   Make copy of /a/etc/vsftab
Edit /a/etc/vfstab and replace all references /dev/md/dsk and
/dev/md/rdsk
replace with /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk along 

 
with the correct  cxtxdxsx
Reestablishing will occur once the work that was being started is
finished.
Thanks again to all.
