They ware loaded with Solaris 7 and have UFS file systems. They also have SCSI disks and my Solaris 10 boot CD does not have the correct drivers, thus it cannot see the disk. I have tried booting from the System Rescue CD and the UBUNTU cd and the FC8 recovery CD. Two of the three can access the UFS file system, but only in read only mode. I get a message saying that UFS support was only compiled in read only mode. Does anyone know of a Linux boot from CD which has the UFS read/write compiled in? I just need to tweek the password file so I can get into these boxes. I would rather not have to build a custom kernel and then build a bootable CD from it.
