Can't startup the database through "isqlplusdba"

Question

I have connectd as sysdba to the oracle 9i database through iSQLPLUSDBA. My database was initially in started mode. Then I did a normal shutdown(successfully).
But When I try to startup it gives me following error.
LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'db_cache_size' LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'dispatchers' LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'fast_start_mttr_target' LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'pga_aggregate_target' LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'undo_management' LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'undo_retention' LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'undo_tablespace' ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
