mount: /tmp is already mounted, swap is busy... during boot
Our Solaris 9 got unstable yesterday and it does not boot anymore. First symptom was when I tried to open ssh connection to the server and it replied "Could not allocate pty..." or something similar. When I logged in locally I couldn't run some commands like ls in /tmp dir, I just got an error. Next I tried to run fsck and it told me that there was problems and asked whether I wan't to salvage the root partition. I didn't want to do that since it was mounted and I tried to boot the system to runlevel 1 so I could do it more securely. The system didn't succeed to do that with init 1 command so I changed the inittab defaultrunlevel to 1 and after that the system goes to infinite loop during boot and just prints the following over and over again:

When I send break signal I can access the PROM but I haven't been able to figure out what I could do... for example test-all just gives me "Rejecting alloc-mem!" and booting with any parameters does always the same. Any ideas what I could do? Is there any way to modify the inittab from PROM?
