Dear mangers, thanks to all your responses: When booting from cdrom with "boot cdrom -s" the SVM stuff is not loaded so mount /dev/md/rdsk/d0 /a does not work. However, mount /dev/dsk/cXtXdXs0 /a should work. The reason why it did not for me first was that I used c0t0d0s0. A call of format revealed that I should have used c1t0d0s0 instead. I could not mount mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a either since the filesystem was unclean. Unfortunately "fsck -F ufs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0" was not able to repair the filesystem. I get "unrepairable cyinder". I have given up on c1t0t0d0. Thankfully the really valuable data is in slice 6. I will therefore reinstall Solaris 10 in c1t0d0s0 and then mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s6 in order to copy the data over the network to another machine. Thanks for all your help!
