The file just loaded does not appear to be executable after reboot
Installed solaris10 for sparc and after it restart /reboot there was an error message: "The file just loaded does not appear to be executable" I even used another drive but It still give me the same problem.
Hardware specs:
Sun Ultra Enterprise 2
2 x 300Mhz CPU
256Mb RAM
9.1 Gb SCSI
Questions:
I had done the partition but it didn't worked. I had done the format, it didn't worked as well. I had done the label, same error message. I had done the volname, same error. I EVEN CHANGE THE PHYSICAL DRIVE, IT STILL GIVE THE SAME ERROR.
1. How do you partition your drive? (very basic question but how does it not work with my machine)
2. How do you format your drive? (very basic question but how does it not work with my machine)
May be SUN geeks out there has some advance way of making the installed files which are unexecutable to turn it to an executable such as those parameters after a command.
Hope to hear from someone soon........
Ferdie.

This looks not promising. :-(

Boot block on the hard disk is corrupted .Boot the system in single user mode with cdrom and reinstall boot block .
#installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
Note: I changed c0t3d0s0 to c0t1d0s0 because mine is c0t1d0s0

I am experiencing the same issue now, however, this is after updating the OS via smpatch. After bringing down the OS so the patches could be applied and returning to the Openboot prompt, I could not boot.
Basically, I had a clean install of Solaris 10 01/06 on a V210 and I tried to update via smpatch. However, I received a load of error messages about the signed packages - smpatch could not validate them. I updated the Sun update connection packages manually (about 4 in total, I'll grab the patch ID's when I get an opportunity) which allowed the update process to continue without any errors. Obviously I had to bring down the OS so it could apply updates that couldn't be run whilst the system was in use, but now I can't boot the machine back up!
I may just jumpstart the box again with the new Solaris release (06/06), and hope the problem disappears!
Just a bit of extra info...

Dude (1st post) ,
what is the boot device on your machine?
Please boot your machine through CDROM in single user mode and try to mount the /a partition?
is OS installed properly?
The post you have put in shows there is problem with the OS or disk.
If you do not know how to partitionon the disk please read more, do not blame others.

I just had the same problem, and the installboot command from above worked perfectly.
Because of this, I've just joined the forum :)
I've taken over responsability of an older sun system, consisting of ultra2, ultra 2 enterprises, and solaris 6. I come from a linux, True64 background. any tips?
