Dear all,

here is an exact instruction from Dr. Blinn, thanks for this:

There is something else wrong. During system startup, any missing
device special file names should just get recreated.
Remove ALL of the "cdrom1" names from both /dev/disk and /dev/rdisk
and then follow the instructions that are coming out on the screen
as your system boots. You may need to try restarting the system
several times to get this all cleaned up.
In the future, do NOT remove device special file names by hand if
you don't have a backup of them (e.g., in a tar saveset), since if
you really do it wrong, your system won't just boot to multiuser
mode any longer.

I have removed the files and then rebooted. All missing files are
recreated without any instructions to the console.

Regards,

Cetin Haftaoglu
