SUMMARY: How to reinstall SUNWpr on Solaris 10 x86

	Thanks a mill to Darren Dunham, Koef, Darren Brechman-Toussaint and
JV.

	Basically:

	1. boot in "Solaris failsafe" mode
	   (the HDD gets mounted under /a )

	2. mount the Solaris 10 1of4 CD
	   # mount  -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 /cdrom

	3. make sure /var, /usr and /opt of the HDD are properly mounted
	   (in my case I had to manually add /var )
	   # mount /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 /a/var

	4. locate the missing package on the CD, copy it to /tmp and install
it onto the HDD
	   # pkgadd -d . -R /a SUNWpr

	This worked for me, but I had to do the exact same to re-install
SUNWtls too...


	Great great list!
