Sorry Shawn,  I don't know Sun OS 5.5.1 at all, but how was a user
able to do this in the first place? That link should have been root
access only!

When you say the system isn't booting, can you be more specific?  At
what point is it failing and what comes up on the screen? Are you able
to use Stop+A to abort the boot process and try to get into single
user mode?  Hopefully you've found help. If not, you may want to see
if you can pop the drive out of that machine and mount it in another
PC. I believe on the Ultra 5s it should be a standard EIDE hard disk
and you should be able to install Solaris 9 or 10 on most commodity PC
hardware and mount the other drive to fsck it or poke around.

Good luck!

Micah
