Error indication:
You receive the following message on boot:
Boot device: /sbus@40,0/QLGC,isp@1,10000/sd@3,0 File and arges: -s
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
NOTE: The sbus and QLGC numbers may differ, but the syntax should be roughly the same.
To fix:
Boot off the cdrom, then execute:
/usr/sbin/installboot/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk \
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
NOTE: Ensure you have back tics on the uname -i and that the disk that you’re executing this on is the boot disk (check the boot device via OBP to verify).
