            Hello,

            I really need help with a SunFire that keeps on rebooting on me
    after I tried to install Solstice DiskSuite (mirroring). The system boots
    up with some warnings and then, following a panic message
    (panic[cpu0]/thread=10408000: mod_hold_stub: Couldn't load stub module
    misc/strplhange ), it reboots again (and again, and again). I want to get
    to the stage where I could reinstall Solaris. I was successful in getting
    to the OK prompt by pressing STOP-A during the boot up sequence. However, I
    can't execute 'boot cdrom'. I get a fatal error message "FATAL: system is
    not bootable, boot command is disabled".

            I suspect that there is a problem with partitioning. However, at
    this point all I want to do is to reinstall Solaris. I do not need to
    recover anything on the system. Any ideas, hints? All the help would be
    highly appreciated.

            Thank you very much for any help you.

            Sincerely,

            Dana Polyak
