T5220

Hello guys,
can anyone give me some advice on how to perform
clean installation of Solaris 10 on T5220 ?
I am connected with serial management port on the machine,
i have the ok promt and now i should eject the dvdrom to insert
Solaris dvd into and start the clean install.
So how to do that ?
What is the command to eject the drive and then when it's inserted
to start installation from the ok prompt ?
Smilie

try "eject cdrom". but this might not work on the T series server. if the eject button won't work, try this:

Code:
ok setenv auto-boot? false
ok reset-all

and after that try again to use the eject button...
