first of all I want to thanks to all the folks that in such a short time
answer me back with right comments:
SYSTEM TYPE: DU 4.0E on AS8200 file system advfs
HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM: A normal System shutdown "shutdown -r now",
after that the system was halting during initialization because it was
missing osf_boot file. The disk dkd100 (host for root, was tested by a
compaq specialist the same day ,and it was fine hardware wise)
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE LIST: Boot using the UNIX installation CD, and
select option 3 with is an operational unix shell (I think it creates a
RAM disk). Then the following:
#mkdir /dev/fdmns/temp_domain
#cd /dev/fdmns/temp _domain
#ln -s /dev/rz25a (rz25a is my root host)
#mount temp_domain#root /mnt
#cd /mnt
#ls (result: my original root directory)
Then I copied osf_boot from the installation CD to /mnt
#cp /osf_boot /mnt/.
#exit
then the machine I manually restart the system and now it was saying :
Digital UNIX boot - Fri Nov 13 13:15:46 EST 1998

OK, at this point the kernel file was on vacation also plus other files
that normally resides on root, since I didn't have an updated backup,
and the data is outside the system in an storageworks. We decided to do
a fresh installation.
FACTS about this PARTICULAR: DO NOT MOUNT ROOT ON advfs, Do it over UFS
!! advfs is not perfect yet, and this was one of this bugs that eat away
some of our root "residents". ALSO HAVE BACKUPs TAPES UPDATED!!!!.
THIS iS A GREAT COMMUNITY, THANKS again for the fast responses. We
deeply appreciate the received help and detailed e-mails.
END.
