thanks to musa, john, and rich for the quick replies: indeed the dead nfs my machine expected to connect to was the cause ... seems like there should be a time out ... maybe i didn't have one specified. in any event boot -s ing into single user mode and editing out the nfs line in vfstab seems to have done wonders. my server boots again. i didn't have to mount the root filesystem (i got an error when i tried - already mounted, or busy), so i cd 'd to / and /etc/vfstab was there. thanks a lot! space goose _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Sat Aug 5 20:59:12 2006
