Hi ,
I am having issue when I try to boot off from Opensolaris Live CD
(0811.iso or 0811-global.iso). The following error message appears in
the screen.
SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_101b 64-bit
Copyright blah
Use is subject blah
Hostname: opensolaris
Remounting root read/write
Probing for device nodes ...
Preparing live image for use

(See /lib/svc/share/README for more information.)
Console login service(s) cannot run
Enter user name for system maintenance (control-d to bypass):
----------------------------------------------------------------
Upon "root" login - the following message.
--------------------------------------------------------------
single-user privilge assigned to root on /dev/console.

Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.11 snv_101b November 2008
-bash: /bin/mail: No such file or directory
-bash: /usr/bin/hostname: No such file or directory
When I mounted the Opensolaris Live CD iso image file, the contents of
the CD image - as follows
[root@:/mnt]# ls -l
total 636959
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 20 05:43 bin -> ./usr/bin

drwxrwxrwt 2 root sys 2048 Nov 20 06:08 tmp
[root@: /mnt]#
Upon observation , the /bin softlink path i.e. /usr/bin does not exists.
I hope this would be reason as why the live cd booting always takes us
to "System Maintenance Mode". If this is the case, how can we resolve it
please?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Saravanan
