I believe you may have trouble with package SUNWopensslr. The paragraph's below only pertain if SUNWopensslr hasn't been installed correctly previously. To get it to boot past 'Configuring Devices' boot into failsafe, then go remove the "reconfigure" (located at /a/reconfigure) file. Then look through all the directories /a/lib, /a/lib/64 & /a/lib/32, and remove the "~11" from the ends of all files there. They are like "libcrypto.so.0.9.8~11" renamed to "libcrypto.so.0.9.8". You should be able to boot now. Now you need to install SUNWopensslr. You can do this this by creating an empty directory at /etc/sfw/openssl and then pkgadd'ing the b109 SUNWopensslr. Let me know if this helps. If this doesn't work, at least remove "reconfigure" (located at /a/reconfigure) file. Solaris will then skip 'Configuring Devices' and make it easier to troubleshoot. Paul
