trying to upgrade Solaris 9 error



I am trying to do an upgrade with Solaris 9 4/03 to a new release level
Solaris 9 9/05 and then I even tried to upgrade to the latest Solaris
10. I have removed all traces of SVM, just incase that it was the
problem. Here is what I get

During the setup it never prompts me to do an upgrade I get to the
window that contains default install or custom install. located at the
bottem of the window is the following message.
Note: Default install is not possible. Default boot disk could not be
determined.

The default option is grayed out so my only option is custom. It still
never asks me to upgrade just if i want to preserve file systems so that
it can create new ones.

Any ideas?
