A new sys admin of mine accidentally deleted the /var directory and then logged out of the system. Is there a
boot sequence that will allow me to do a mkdir and copy files off diskkette?
The boot -s, single user mode, doesn't allow this. I need to desperatley get back into this system and put back
this directory and related files.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
This is under Solaris 2.4 OS.

1. HELP! Deleted /var now I cant boot
OK I got it workin. I let it set for a real long time and it timed out
to where I could access root and untar my var.tar. The question still
remains, how should I have gone about this swap of filesystems?
Thanks for reading in,
Sam
