ORA-1034 is often the result of incorrect protection of various Oracle
executables and directories, which is usually the result of not reading
the installation manual carefully and not running root.sh and
rootpre.sh when prompted.
The protection needs to be 755, and the suid bit of the Oracle
executable needs to be set.
Also, usually you need to set ORACLE_SID prior to connecting to Oracle.
If you don't it will assume ORACLE_SID=ORCL, and end up with ora-1034,
if you didn't set up such a sid.
Your statement about Oracle manuals being Windows centric is incorrect.
Usually it is just the opposite. Are you sure you are reading the Unix
manuals (starting from 9i, there are no separate Solaris manuals
anymore)?
