getexecname() failed

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!

most likely it must be /proc.

try to mount /proc file system.
mount -F proc /proc /a/proc

also please refer to sundoc as mentioned by Yuzh.
also please check the system clock time.
if it is set to time back, correct it. and everything will start working smooth thereon.

Thanks a lot, guys!
I think it might be the problem of proc mouting point. I reinstalled solaris, and removed slice /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 /proc, let it be with /, everything running well after that!
I will find a time to try the sun's solution to see whether it works or not. ;)

In my first comment:

"you should not have a separate /proc, it should stay with the / filesystem.
(/proc is the process dir, it should mount on system boot up)"

tell you to repartion the HD, means reinstall.

I post the Sun doc to tell you why. (I think you guys believe Sun!)

cheers!
