Solaris 10 install short-circuited

I just installed Solaris on my laptop - to a USB attached drived. It
works and runs well, but there was a failure at the end of the
installation and I'm wondering what effect it might have.

After the graphical interface came up, a dialog prompted me to
insert the "software 5" CD, whatever that is. This step could be
skipped, but no matter what was done, the system would follow with
a reboot prompt - no other choice possible.

I was able to open another window, from where I was able to modify a
script that looked like it *might* be associated with the dialog prompt
(aggravating!!!!). I had the script exit early and then let the system
reboot.

I unfortunately can't find the script anymore.

What was the system doing, and have I missed anything important?

TIA
.
