Hi Ross,
Ok - as a Solaris newbie.. i'm going to need your help.
Format produces the following:-
c8t4d0 (VMware-Virtualdisk-1.0 cyl 65268 alt 2 hd 255 sec 126) /
p...@0,0/pci15ad,1...@10/s...@4,0
what dd command do I need to run to reference this disk? I've tried /
dev/rdsk/c8t4d0 and /dev/dsk/c8t4d0 but neither of them are valid.
dd if=/dev/rdsk/c8t4d0p0 of=~/disk.out bs=512 count=256
That should get you the first 128K.
As for a hex editor, try bvi, like vi but for binary and supports much
of the vi commands.
Search for signature 0x55AA (little endian) which should be bytes 511
and 512 of the MBR.
There is also the possibility that these were wiped somehow, or even
cached in vmware and lost during a vm reset.
