ver 8i on windows NT4
chose the Typical install in 8i during installation hence i guess a starter db is created by the installation

via svrmgrl did startup

trying to connect to sqlplus both gui as well as command line (on the same server box itself)

tried with just sqlplus and it challenges for Enter user-name: i entered sys / as sysdba asks for password: i entered change_on_install

error ORA-01033: Oracle initialization in progress.

waited for 20 minutes, same error. did a shutdown and startup again, same error



other clues/messages

shutdown, shutdown normal show this
Error ORA-01507: database not mounted

connected to sqlplus with nolog and creating a sample table with CREATE TABLE or do a DESCRIBE TABLE for this shows "not connected"
