    I'm was doing a solaris 8 upgrade from 04/00 to 02/04 and the installer
    returned to the prompt# without finishing.

    I think it's because it didn't mount /var to /a/var

    if i reboot and boot from the cdrom, then i'll be stuck with /var not
    mounted.

    anyway... i'd like to re-run the installer since i now have /var mounted
    to /a/var like it should be.

    How do i restart the solaris 8 installer from a shell prompt?

    Thanks
    Karl
