Oracle Database Discussions

Had major power outage overnight and lost all ups power resulting in unexpected shutdown of servers. We have Oracle 8.0.3 running on a Netware 4.11 server (I know, old technology, but it worked fine until now). After we returned power, and tried starting the system back up, the system was unable to startup our database. I have been able to get the Listener to work properly and lists the two instances as each having a single service handler. I can tnspng80 the services. But when we try to startup our database either through the orastart script or through srvmgr30>startup pfile=%ORACLE_HOME%\database\initorcl.ora we receive the following errors in Server Manager:
LCC-00161: Message 161 not found; product=RDBMS80; facility=MGR
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
we also receive the following on the system console:
ORACLE: Unable to open CONFIG.ORA after 600 tries (last NW errno = 0x0001)
There are no problems with the configuration files as far as I can tell. The config.ora file is accessible and seems to be ok. I have also checked the other configuration files and cannot find anything that seems to be wrong. I only have "hot" tape backups, and do have good backups, but even restoring from an older backup I am still getting these errors.

Please help if anybody has any info.
