    I was installing Solaris 9 this morning, and after the 2nd CD (I did not
    install the language CD) the host rebooted, but it went into single user
    mode:

    "
    Configuring /dev and /devices
    Configuring the /dev directory (compatibility devices)
    mount: /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s6 is already mounted, /var is busy,
            or the allowable number of mount points has been exceeded
    mount: mount-point /var/run does not exist.

    INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmpx

    INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "

    INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "

    INIT: SINGLE USER MODE

    Type control-d to proceed with normal startup,
    (or give root password for system maintenance):

    "

    My colleague told me that he has seen this happen sometimes during Jumpstart
    installations of Solaris 9. Apparently, after a further reboot the problem
    clears itself with no consequence. Still, did anyone else here see this
    happen? What is the reason?

    cheers
