ls: not found
John Poltorak
keeps hanging on bootup. After booting off CD I go through a number
of steps until I get a choice of volume groups to manage. I select one,
and then mount shows me:-
/dev/ram0 / jfs rw
/dev/cd0 /SPOT cdrfs ro
At this point I try ls and get :-
/usr/bin/ksh: ls: not found
How do I get to a directory from which I can run ls?
I suspect that the hang could be due to running out of space, but I'm
not sure how to tell. When I switch on I normally get a resumption
of a hibernation. Is there any way to prevent his?

OR
when you access your volume group choose the option to access only,
do not select the option before mounting filesystems.

Well I never knew that trick!

I do have access to find, but can't locate either more or vi.

I'm an absolute newbie when it comes to volume groups and suchlike.
Basically I have two disks attached which appear to be in different volume groups.
I want to be able to mount the first and change it's start up so that it
comes up with a command line login.

Can you give me an example of how to do this?
I have two disks, which I think are in different volume groups, and I suspect
both have a /usr
