Greetings,

The question was:

*****************************************************
Our server crashed this morning. I was able to boot 
system up from another (completly diffrent and no 
volume manager) disk. Then I mounted the first slice 
from the bad disk. What I found is that there is no 
/dev/vx and /etc directory ??? 
After rebooting system I have : 

The file just loaded doesn't appear to be executable. 

PS. 
Also the mirror disk doesn't work. I couldn't startup 
my system from mirror copy. 
*****************************************************

I've got one tip from Rick Francis:

usually this means you lost your bootblk. 

boot off the cdrom with (boot -sw cdrom) 

and install the bootblk with: 

/usr/sbin/installboot /usr/platform/`uname
-i`/lib/fs/ufs/botblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 

as for /dev/vx; 

while you booted off the cdrom; do: 

mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a 
cd /tmp/dev 
tar cvfp - . | ( cd /a/dev; tar xvfp - ) 
cd /tmp/devices 
tar cvfp - . | ( cd /a/devices; tar xvfp - ) 


Unfortunately it didn't help although it was (I think)
good idea.
I contacted Veritas technical support.

Thanks for your HELP !!!
Piotr
