the problem turned out to be a failed HDD. Though there was nothing in the vfstab and it is not a part of the md device, it is causing the solaris to wait for a very long time before booting. After removing the faulty disk the system boots like charm...I am still confused about how could a failed SCSI cause the system to give a long pause. Anyone has clues? Rene Occelli's mail helped alot. Here are others who gave helpful hints..thanx to all of ya..:) Rahul Parasnis [rahul.parasnis@creditlyonnais.fr] Matt D.

The machine just refuses to boot even on cdrom. All diagnostics come out clean. I noticed that one out of the six disk slots in empty ( take out??!!! ). The missing disk apears to be on disk6 ( and presumably not a boot disk). The machine seems to boot fine till printing the Sun OS header and copyright information ( on CD or from boot disk). I am unable to contact the admin who handled the machine previously. Any help in tracing the problem would be great.
