Hi, I've run into an issue with a test machine that I'm happy to encounter with this machine, because it is no real trouble. But I'd like to know the solution for this issue in case I run into it again...
I've installed OpenSolaris 2008.05 on an USB disk on a laptop. After installing I've modified /etc/passwd from hand: I've added another entry for the same uid with a different login name and home directory, so that I can login with a local and an NFS import home directory. Unfortunately I forgot to update /etc/shadow accordingly, so I ended up, being unable to login at all, because root is a profile and the newly added account was before the original account with the same uid. So no login possible anymore. Normally, such a situation is not a problem. So I did what I usually would do and booted from the CD. OK, now I zpool imported rpool, modified /etc/passwd, and /etc/shadow, exported the pool, and rebooted. BANG! Now the machine doesn't boot anymore, because during this process it somehow lost the ramdisk image. Now my question is: How to I reinstall the boot procedure to the laptop from the install CD? I've tried using bootadm with -R and the like but couldn't make any progress... Any ideas? Any hint would be highly appreciated...
