Thank you to all that did offer me helping hand, in particular to Peter
Wallis who did pointed me to the clock problem on the system. I did change
my time from "Fri Nov 26 04:50:15 EWT 1909" to "Tue Jul 6 11:15:00 EDT
2004"
Then next step was to find alternate superblock and run fsck against that
superblock on all the slices that I had on this hard drive.

After this I was able to boot up my Solaris 2.8 and everything is working
fine. Another option was suggested to boot up the system from CDROM, but bad
part about this is that X1 did not have CD-ROM drive :(

Anyway my system is back online.

Regards,

Chris

Subject: Cant boot X1 - fsck problem?!?

I have Solaris 2.8 installed on my X1. I have problem booting that server
up. Id does complain about disks / partitions. When I run fsck it does show
everything is fine but still system complains about partition not ok and it
does ask me to use fsck each time I try to boot it. Does anyone have any
suggestions what could I do to force system to boot or somehow recognize
those drives as fine?

Here is output. After running fsck I do reboot the system or exit from
maintenance mode and it still does complain about those partitions.
