Cannot open '/etc/path_to_inst'"..

Answer / sbrahman75

System can not find the /etc/path_to_install file .It might
be missing or corrupted and needs to be rebuild.

To rebuild this file boot the system with -ar option :

ok>boot -ar

Press enter to select default values for the questions asked
during booting and select yes to rebuild /etc/path_to_install

The /etc/path_to_inst on your system does not exist or is
empty. Do you want to rebuild this file [n]? y

system will continue booting after rebuilding the file.
