Re: Start Oracle 8.1 on sparc Solaris 8 boot

Manually you do this by
sqlplus /nolog
connect internal
startup

I have a feeling the /nolog switch is missing, otherwise sqlplus will connect automatically and never reach the connect internal line. I read somewhere the dbstart procedure *IS* buggy and bugs in dbstart occurred before, so, just give it a shot.
