Infrastructure Software

Hello !

I have installed Solarias 10 1/06 some time ago and today I managed to get most of the updates installed with Sun Update Connection, but now my Solarias system will not boot !
It says: 'cannot mount boot archives' and prompts me to press a key for reboot.
Note that some of the updates failed to install for reason of being 'obsolete or not allowed by system policy'. I set no policy for my computer whatsoever other that just installing Solaris.

Now I can only start 'Solaris failsafe' from the GRUB menu, but there the man command does not work, and I don't know how to start the GUI. I also answered 'Yes' when Solaris failsafe oferred to update 'boot archives', with no change.

I would like to give the list of patches, if you can tell me the command that will output them, in 'Solaris failsafe' mode.

No need to tell you I don't know how to operate the Solaris OS yet and I am trying hard to learn it in my short and little spare time.

I will eventualy download and burn a new set of CDs for a new version of Solaris, but I think automated updates that result in an unbootable system are a serious problem anyway.

Thank you
