Armada M700 test installation



I'm currently trying to install Solaris 10 on a friend's Compaq
Armada M700, more to get the hang of it before I try for 'real' on an
IBM Thinkpad. It only has 192 MB of RAM, which means I use the
test-based installer - which I can live with - but after that warning
I received the following:


/sbin/install-setup: fork failed - too many processes
Requesting System Maintanance Mode
(see /lib/svc/share/README for more information.)
Console login service(s) cannot run
Directly executing sulogin
#


Just wondering what this means. Is it a result of low RAM, or
something else? I'm aware getting Solaris to install can be flaky, to
say the least, but I will persist.
Thanks,
.
