Problem

Sun just fills its console with

WARNING: init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9: restarting automatically
WARNING: init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9: restarting automatically
WARNING: init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9: restarting automatically
WARNING: init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9: restarting automatically
WARNING: init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9: restarting automatically
WARNING: init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9: restarting automatically
WARNING: init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9: restarting automatically

If you can get into it, all commands fail with

% su - root
ld.so.1: su: fatal: libcmd.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory

What Happened

/var/lib was unprotected, and someone ran crle with a bad collection of options.

How I fixed It

boot cdrom -ws

# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a # chroot /a /bin/sh # rm /var/ld/ld.config # crle -l /lib:/usr/lib # exit # umount /a # sync # sync # reboot

Beware that if your root partition isn't c1t0d0s0, you'll have to substitute accordingly.

This is a collection of techical information, much of it learned the hard way. Consider it a lab book or a /info directory. I doubt much of it will be of use to anyone else.
