Did you properly set the ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME environment variables ? And
I hope you did not forget to start up the instance before creating the database (in
the Oracle world, DATABASE and INSTANCE are two entirely different things):
SVRMGR> startup nomount (starts up the instance without mounting the database)
SVRMGR> @crdbjunk.sql
Hope this helps.
