    Thanks to all of you who helped me out with the CD booting problem. It
    turned out to be the CDROM device itself was bad. Once I switched it out
    all was good. I am now running solaris 9 12/03! :)

    I am just having one problem, I cannot boot to device disk without manually
    changing bootmode to forth and then doing a "boot disk". By default when I
    turn the machine on, it tries to boot from device net.

    How can I change the default boot device from net to disk?

    Thanks in advance,
    -peter
