Question Hi!
I'm a real newbie in the computer field (have only been in it less than a year). I recently got a good buy (?) on a Sun SPARC5 work station (I believe it's either Solaris 5 or 7 that's loaded on it). After it boots up, I get the following error message "rpc lockd. cannot contact status monitor". This error message cascades diagonally across the screen, and the system is completely locked up. Any thoughts on this? Thanks! Shawn R. Daniel
Answer Hi !
Start the workstation in singe user mode:
at boot up press the "stop" and "a" key
now your in the boot promt, type: boot -s
the system will boot up in single user mode.
now deinstall the nfs package with the pkgrm command, if you donīt want to use it.
for more information how to deinstall nfs look at docs.sun.com
