Start Oracle 8.1 on sparc Solaris 8 boot

Hi, All.

Recently a sparc machine failed to stop/start Oracle 8.1 on shutdown/boot.

Starting oracle is via call to link to /etc/init.d/dbora, which calls

"su - oracle -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart",

which in turn should call

"sqlplus <<EOF

connect internal
startup
EOF" The only way we've been able to start the Oracle instance is with svrmgrl, which dbstart calls
for Oracle versions 7.3 and 8.0

Anyone else encounter this behavior, or want to clue us as to how to set it right?

TIA,
