Dear All,

I just made a fresh intallation of Solaris 8(02), the partition is like below:

/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 3943839 /
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1 8676831 /usr
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 1991988 /proc
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4 2516122 /opt
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5 4592700 /var
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7 12178374 /export/home

But after the installation, I found that ps gave me error message like: ps: getexecname() failed, and some packages were also failed to be installed because of the same problem.
Can anybody here help me out?
Thanks a lot in advance!
 
Looks like /proc is missing.

Solution:
mkdir /proc

mount -F proc /proc

That should do.
Regards
