Is it possible to reinstall part of the system without having to format the hard drive so as not to lose my data?





I mounted my system disk as a slave on my onyx in order to see the contents but it cannot open without it being initialized and I do not dare to do it. Do you think I can choose "mount a local filesystem" without risking losing my data?

you can mount it from the command line, mount /dev/dsk/dks0d2s0 /disk2 (you'll have to make the /disk2 dir)

from there you can explore it through /disk2

looks like /var might have gotten lost?
