when i boot up a newly installed Solaris 9 machine, it times out waiting for NIS to come up (cos i put in the wrong details), and it just refuses to boot... it waits and waits and waits, without ever booting! i've tried leaving it for about 16 hours, and it still didn't boot!
how can i get it to bypass it! it's only a "WARNING:", so it's not fatal... |

Hi,
I do not know about Solaris9 but on Solaris 8 you should boot into a singel user mode (boot -s) and then clean your system configurations by 'sys-unconfig'. This would return your workstation into a clean (never configured) mode and shut it down. Upon the next power-up you will be inquired about the new configuration - skip NIS. Regards Andrej |

hi...... thanks for the advice :D
i figured it out in the end (but forgot to post) by doing exactly that - a sys-unconfig! thanks though :D |
