... means, e.g., that the command tset isn't found. Either because /usr/ucb is
not in your path, or because it doesn't exist any longer as /usr/ucb/tset.

This could be due to a disk error, which would also explain, why the boot isn't

Have a look into the file /usr/adm/messages - if you can - and see if something

Best of luck,
