Enable network support for Solaris 9 from CD-ROM boot.
How to enable network support on Solaris 9 for backup and restore OS on new hard disk.
At Solaris 9 I am able to do this by following way:
- boot via Solaris - CD into single-user-mode (ok> boot cdrom -s)
- put a new FS onto corrupted root-FS
- mount the new FS
- activate network-services:
#/etc/init.d/inetinit start
#/etc/init.d/rpc start
#/etc/init.d/inetsvc start
- configure network-interface
#ifconfig bge0 [IP] netmask [netmask] broadcast [broadcast] up
- mount NFS-share
#mount [IP]:[NFS-share] /tmp/mnt
- do ufsrestore
#ufsrestore rvf /tmp/mnt/[file]
- delete file
#rm restoresymtable
- umount FS
- check restored filesystem
- install bootblock
#installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/[device-file]
