If you have a separate /usr you've not installed Solaris as per Sun's
recommendations and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they refused to
support you.

The really funny one though is /sbin/init (at least as of 5.6).  You
can't even begin to do anything unless shared libraries are in working
condition, not even fork a single-user shell.  One of the many reasons I
stay as far away from admin'ing solaris as humanly possible.
