    Hi all,
    I have a problem where people are turning the power off during boot-up on
    SPARC based sun CP2040 cards running solaris 8 2/04.
    (the units are in the field so I have no way to stop them killing the power).

    When I try to boot the device I get the follwing error message:
    cannot open /etc/path_to_inst

    Despite the having ufs logging enabled on the root slice I get corruption on
    /etc/path_to_inst file,
    You cant boot into single user mode to repair it; I guess this file is called
    very early in the boot process.

    To correct it, I have to boot across the net from a boot server and manually
    fsck the root slice. After that everything is OK.

    Is there anything I can do to stop this file corrupting?

    Thanks
    Dan
