Is there any possibility to automate the boot process. I mean: during the boot process the system wait to replay to the question "Enter the root password for maintenance or press ctrl-d". Can I put somewhere a time-out so that, after this time-out expire, the system boot in multi-user just like if I have press "ctrl-D" ?
Regards
On SolarisX86 there seams to be a timeout. During the boot process, it ask for the root password or to press the "ctrl-d" key to complete is boot: going to multi-users.
On Sparc system (Enterprise, Sun Fire, ...) the system wait for an answer. Nothing else is going wrong. (No problem of disk fsck ...).
Not true. Once Solaris starts, the boot process is virtually identical on both architectures.
x86 doesn't ask for a maintenance password any more than SPARC does. There should be some sort of error message on the console before it asks.
I might look at the /etc/vfstab and make sure there's no typos in it.
Also make sure the default boot is to runlevel 3, and not to S or 1 or anything like that.
