Hello,
I had a SparcStation 2 (full system) for a
while in my closet (dead NVRAM) and I just got some parts for it so it's back up
and running. Now I need to reset the root password. Ok, that sounds dumb.
So, I don't have the cdrom, I tried booting of a debian floppy (potato rescue
for Sparc) and mounting the sda1 (my first SCSI disk, running Solaris 2.5). The
problem is that I can only mount it read-only. I tried everything from "mount
/dev/sda1 /sunhdd" to "mount -t ufs /dev/sda1 /sunhdd -o w,ufstype=sun". All of
the commands mount it, but mount it read-only. I need write access so I can
change /etc/shadow and delete the password hash.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't seem to
figure out what mount wants. It's weirding me out.
Regards,
Marko
PS: Can you include me in the reply for now, I'll
be joining the mailing list shortly. Thanks.
