Solaris 8, boot /proc is not procfs mount point
When I boot my Solaris 8 system running on SunBlade 100 I get several error messages and the system won't boot.
A summary of the messages is shown below
The system just stops on the word done as show below.
Can you please explain the cause of these messages and what I might do to fix it. The system seemed to be running fine before I powered off and rebooted. I've booted to cdrom in single user mode and ran fsck, which found a few problems which I fixed, but didn't fix this problem.
Also below I've pasted my /etc/vfstab file.

pgrep: /proc is not a procfs mount point
/usr/bin/ps: getexecname() failed

done.
