Re: Again on Solaris 10 installation

Hi!

I tried to search 'Sun System Handbook' for this motherboard
(partno:370-4134) but couldn't find any server/workstation using it.

I therefore assume that Solaris 10 Sparc doesn't support it. Although,
it may be supported but I doubt it.

Post the screen output, it would be interesting to see it.

Regards,

Daniel

I asked a question last Friday, I think it was and received pretty good
answers, however I still can't install Solaris 10.

What happens, is that after I issue the comand "boot cdrom", the computer
starts reading from the CDROM, and after a minute, displays a whole bunch
of hexadecimal characters, then stops and reboots from the hard
drive. Right now, I am using Solaris 9.

The Sun Box I have, has an Ultra AXe (Ultra SPARC -IIi 300 Mhz)
motherboard with 512 Mbytes of RAM. The OpenBoot is 3.14.0 ME.

I wonder if someone has been able to install Solaris 10, on a hardware
equal to mine? What am I doing wrong?

I wonder, if I need to download the latest OpenBoot version from Sun
Microsystems? Does anyone know if there is one available on the net?

Any and all help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
