SUMMARY: Problem rebooting after repartitioning and restoring data

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

Original Problem: I repartioned my main disk and restored data to
                        / and /usr.
                After rebooting I get error message:
                "File loaded is not executable"

Solution: installboot needs to be run after restoring the root filesystem.
        This is needed as the boot blocks were overwritten when restoring
        data. Whenever you restore the root filesytem you should run
        installboot.
        For Solaris 2.1 this is.
                /usr/sbin/installboot /usr/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
        or whatever your disk slice is instead of c0tsd0s0

        Many thanks to everyone who replied (too numerous to mention)

                        Dave.
