Sorry for answering you so late, but I had a bad family problem.
Now I came back to my severe SPARC problem. Yes, if I run:
mount / -o remount,rw
/ is mounted read-write. Then I issued:
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/rc
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/rcS
but when I reboot, root (/) is still mounted as read-only and I
receive a lot of error messages complaining about /proc mounted
as read-only and then something coming from modprobe. By the way
how can I stop the log of booting in order to read what is
scrolling down on the screen?
Besides after the reboot /etc/init.d/rcS still come back to 644!
Thank for your help.
Roberto Giorgetti.
