    Subject: re-mounting a readonly partition read-write

    I have a remote system that has an error in the vfstab file causing the box to
    boot with the partitions mounted as readonly.
    I know need to mount the partition as read-write so I can fix the problems in
    /etc/vfstab

    Any ideas how I can do it (remotely - without the solaris cdrom)??

    HEEELLLLLPPP !!

    Thanks

    Andy
