    I am about to upgrade an old 5.1 box to 5.1A PK6 tomorrow
    so I am doing some testing today on a 'decomissioned' DS20
    This was on 5.1A already .
    I have booted from the 5.1 CD install disk to create a 5.1 system , then I want to do a
    installupdate to 5.1A etc.
    The problem I am having is the dreaded 'Init: Command is respawning too quickly - Check for possible errors"
    "id: cons "/usr/sbin/getty console console vt100"
    It seems that /sbin and /usr won't play.
    I have rebooted back to single user , and the root partition is OK on dsk0a
    but /usr and /var will not mount (on dsk0d and dsk0g)
    Any quick pointers to sort this out?
    Would it be the firmware?
    Thanks
