Method B: Booting From a Local CD-ROM

Do not use this method on a Sun Enterprise 10000 system platform.

You need to know the name of your normal root file system disk device to use this procedure.

1. Boot Solaris from your installation media (CD-ROM):

   ok boot cdrom -s

2. Mount the normal root file system disk device:

   # mount /dev/dsk/device-name /a

3. Use a text editor such as vi to edit the /etc/system file on the normal root file system:

   # vi /a/etc/system

4. Comment out the line that sets initclass to SHR.

   Note that the comment character in this file is an asterisk (*).

   * set initclass="SHR"

5. Unmount the normal root file system:

   # umount /a

6. Reboot the system from the normal root file system disk device:

   # init 0 # boot devalias

   where devalias is the name of the normal root file system disk device.

   Your system will now boot with Solaris Resource Manager disabled.
