From memory the following steps should work (at least on
10.5.x OS X on either a G5 iMac or MBP):
1) download the image from Sun
2) if it is a zip, run unzip to create the iso
3) if the iso isn't on the desktop, open a finder
window and go to the directory where it is
4) start Disk Utility
5) drag the icon for the iso file from the desktop or the
finder window to the left side panel of disk administrator
(below anything already there)
6) click on the iso file name to highlight it in the left side
7) click on the burn button
8) insert CD or DVD media into the drive - wait
9) When it is recognized, press the burn button
10) wait while the DVD/CD is burned and verified.
11) it should eject when done - click to confirm
12 highlight the filename (if not already) and hit delete to
get rid of it in the left column.
13) repeat for other CD/DVD images ...
The differences between that and what I did should not matter except
for maybe (5). I used the File->Open Disk Image menu item. Your
method (drag) puts one icon in the left panel. The menu option does
the same but mounts the ISO and shows a disk icon underneath it.
I still selected the upper (the filename) but the Sun said "Can't
open boot device"
It did this even when I used the correct ISO :-)
(After the first failure, I discovered I had burned
lang disk one instead of install disk one)
I've got your method running now. Mot media size--the ISO is only
509 MB and DU says the media can hold 709 MB Also, I always
check "Verify" and DU said that passed. It's an RW, not a write-once.
Don't know whether that matters, but I don't want to run out of blanks
trying to make this work!
